This is a constant staple in my house and a quick snack.  Combine all
the above ingredients in a blender or food processor and  add just
enough of the reserved liquid to make the mixture move.  Hummus keeps a
couple of weeks tightly sealed in the refrigerator.  Serving
Suggestions:  In the middle east this is served with pita  bread
(pocket bread) toasted and cut into triangles (whole wheat pita  is
easily available and is nutritionally better).  The toasted  triangles
are then dipped into the hummus which is on served on a  large flat
plate with oil drizzled on the top. I usually spread it  like peanut
butter on whole grain toast or a whole grain roll. Serve  with fresh
fruit or a salad for a very satisfying snack or light meal.  NOTE:
Tahini is sesame paste, which is basically like peanut butter  except
it is made with crushed, toasted sesame seeds.  In order to  keep the
fat content low, I get a jar of Tahini where the oil has  separated on
the top, and then I pour the oil off before using it. It  appears to
make no difference in the taste or consistency, but lowers  the fat
content substantially. Toasted Tahini is available at  Mother's and
sometimes at Trader Joe's.  MINGRAM@MADAM.WEST.SUN.COM  (JUDY MINGRAM)
