Directions:Pour Garbanzo Beans into a food processor bowl that has a metal blade. Place Tahinni and garlic into the bowl. Turn on food processor and puree until Garbanzo Beans are thoroughly ground up. With motor still running, gradually add the Olive Oil - add slightly more if mixture is too doughy. Allow mixture to blend completely. Add Pine Nuts, Tomatoes, or Chives if wanted and blend completely. Add two drops (not more!) of Tabasco, Salt, and Pepper. Add water if necessary to form a smooth mixture.

Notes: Mrs. Adamian, a 91 year old Armenian woman I met while working at Bentley College in the 1970s, taught me this recipe for delicious hummus. This is a wonderful appetizer that can be eaten with chips, crackers, or (the Armenian way) with slices of raw onion folded into toasted Pita Bread wedges that can scoop up the hummus. Will keep for more than a week if refrigerated.
