Into a small food processor, I toss:

1 can drained chickpeas or butter beans
about 2 T. sesame tahini
a generous pinch or two of dried parlsey
a couple of cloves of garlic or garlic powder if really in a rush
process and scrape down sides, drizzling in lemon or lime juice til
reaching desired consistency.

I can't believe ppl pay those outrageous prices for storebought hummus
when you can whip up a batch quickly and on the cheap.

I make a black bean dip in similar fashion with beans, ketchup, some
spices etc.
