Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 ounce Chick peas -- soaked
5 tablespoon Tahini
4 tablespoon Lemon juice -- or to taste
2 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
3 Garlic cloves -- minced
1/4 teaspoon Spanish paprika (hot)
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Black pepper

Drain & rinse chick peas. Put them in a large pot with lots of fresh water &
boil for 60 minutes. If the chick peas are old, then you may have to boil
them for longer. Cook until they are soft.

Drain thoroughly, reserving the liquid. Grind to a fine powder. Add 150 ml
of reserved stock & blend to a stiff paste. You may have to add more stock.
Add all the other ingredients & mix thoroughly.

Leave to stand at least 2 hours so that the flavours can marry. Add more
seasonings if you require, especially lemon juice & olive oil.
