  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2  cup           Sesame Seed Paste --
                        (tahini)
     1/3  cup           Water
     1/4  cup           Olive Oil
   6      tablespoons   Lemon Juice
   4                    Cloves Garlic -- peeled
   2      cans          Garbanzo Beans -- well
                        Drained
     1/2  teaspoon      Ground Cumin
   1      teaspoon      Coriander Seeds
                        Salt -- to taste

Combine first five ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth.
 Add chickpeas and seasonings and blend to puree.  
Taste and adjust flavors to suit (I usually like a little more lemon.).

 The mixture you get before adding the chickpeas is also delicious, although extremely strong in garlic
  Use a bit less garlic, thin with water and you've got a delicious salad dressing. 
 Unfortunately, a very high fat salad dressing, though.
