- You may use a little less than ¼ cup of tahini in place of the sesame seeds.

Place 2 Tbs. lemon juice, 1 Tbs. plus 2 teaspoon olive oil, sesame seeds, garlic cloves and spices in food processor or blender and process until slightly thick and smooth.
Add chick peas and the remaining lemon juice and process until smooth.
Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with remaining olive oil.
Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours to allow flavors to blend.
Serve with pita bread or pita chips.
