--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3       cl           Garlic -- sliced
   1       lg           Handful parsley
   2       md           Scallions -- in 1" pieces
   3       c            Cooked chickpeas
   6       tb           Tahini
   6       tb           Fresh lemon juice
   1       ts           Salt -- to taste
                        Cayenne -- to taste (optional)
                        Cumin -- to taste (optional)

  Place garlic, parsley, and scallions in a food processor or blender
  and mince.

  Add chick peas, tahini, lemon juice, and salt, and puree to a thick
  paste. (You can also do the mincing and mashing by hand. The hummus
  will have a coarser texture, but that can be nice too.)

  Season to taste, if desired, with cayenne and cumin (and correct the
  salt, if necessary). Transfer to a tightly lidded container and chill.
