Ingredients

3 cups Garbanzo beans, cooked

1 tablespoon Lemon juice

teaspoon Basil

teaspoon Garlic powder

1 teaspoon Onion powder

teaspoon Ground cumin

1 tablespoon Parsley

Preparation

Puree the beans and mix all of the ingredients together. (This may be done in a blender.) Also, some water or bean-cooking liquid may be added to make a creamy consistency.

HELPFUL HINTS: Let stand an hour at room temperature to blend flavors. Use as sandwich spread, to fill "pocket bread" (pita) or as a dip for crackers or pita.
