Here's my first attempt. It seemed basic, and I guess it is, so it turned
tasty but a bit in the bland side.

2 cups chickpeas (dried and cooked until soft)
1/2 cup well-stirred Al Wahdi tahini, from Lebanon
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 good-sized garlic cloves
juice of 1 lemon
a bunch of salt and some white pepper

I added quite a but of olive oil to keep it moving in the processor (it
wouldn't budge in the blender, and was THAT a nasty job scraping it out and
transferring it). I've seen a number of other suggestions -- lemon zest,
chili powder, cumin, paprika -- but decided to go basic the first time
around. Middle Eastern is not my forte.

So can anyone help me jazz it up a bit?
