Hummus

When you serve it pour just a touch of good quality olive oil on the top and a black olive.
Serve as an appetizer along with cucumbers and pita bread. (I have made this without the fresh parsley and it came out good too.)

Yields: 2 cups

1 - 15 ounce can gabanzo beans, drained
2 to 3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley, stems removed
Salt

Place garlic and parsley in a food processor, and chop fine. Add garbanzo beans, salt, cumin and lemon juice and process until smooth. Use bean liquid to thin if necessary. Serve with baked tortillas, vegetables or toasted pita bread.
