"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups chick peas drained, reserve juice
2 cloves of garlic
1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste) or almond butter or peanut butter
Juice of 1 lemon and one lime
Zest of 1 Lemon (optional)
2 tbsp olive oil
chickpea cooking juice or can liquid as needed
1/2 tsp. cumin (optional)
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Directions:
Drain chick peas, reserve liquid in a bowl and approx. ten chick peas for garnish. Put garlic in food processor and mince. Add chick peas and mince, scraping down the sides. Add tahini, olive oil and lemon/lime juice and zest, cumin and cayenne. Process until smooth. Taste. Add enough reserve chick pea juice to make a thick creamy consistency--not much is usually required as it should be about hold a shape (it’s a dip not a sauce).
Serve on a platter or shallow bowl, and make wide well in the middle, in which you put the reserved chick peas. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or toasted sesame seeds, or a tiny bit of paprika or smoked paprika for color. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with fresh pita bread, crackers or pita chips.
