This is one of my play-it-by-ear, non-recipes. It has my 4 favorite qualities; fast, simple, frugal and healthy. The picture I took of this last summer, makes it look kinda boring and bland, but it's actually bursting,
bursting I tell you, with flavor. With the holidays soon approaching, this is a time and money saver. It will keep for days in the fridge and you can even make it ahead and freeze it,
freeze it I tell you! How many dips can do that? It will please the pickiest vegan or carnivore at your gathering.

First I soak and boil dried chick peas, which is the most economical way, but canned is just fine.
*******************************************************************
Then the food processor does the rest. I add the cooked beans, ( 1 bag of dried or 2-3 cans drained)
*******************************************************************
I also add 2 T. tahini
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 t. sea salt or kosher salt
1 t. granulated garlic
3 T. minced garlic
*******************************************************************
I give that a good whirl and add a little water if needed to adjust the consistency. Adjust the ingredients to suit your taste. :O)

Here's the fun part- add what you like best. I like to add capers and black olives. yum!
