Roasted Garlic Hummus
"Hummus is a thick dip made from a combination of puréed chick peas, tahini (sesame paste), lemon juice and garlic. Originating in the Middle East, it's become so popular that commercially prepared versions are readily found in most supermarkets. Hummus is such a simple mix of ingredients though, it's practically as easy, and much more economical to make your own and flavor it according to your own taste...."
