1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon oil
1 dsh cumin
salt, to taste
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 bn parsley, chopped fine
one lemon, juice of
3 cups cooked garbanzo beans, mashed
2/3 cup toasted sesame seeds, ground (optional)

Preparation

1 Garbanzo Spread is an enduring favorite. Try it as an open-face sandwich with cucumber and tomato slices, or thin it with a little vegetable or bean stock and serve as a dip with whole wheat crackers. 2 Saute onion and garlic in oil until onion is transparent. Add cumin and cook until fragrant. Crush garlic with a fork. Add herbs and parsley at the last minute, cooking just enough to soften parsley. Mix with the lemon and mashed beans (and sesame), stirring together thoroughly. 3 Makes about 3 cups.
