  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2  cup           sesame seed paste -- (tahini)
     1/3  cup           water
     1/4  cup           olive oil
   6      tablespoons   lemon juice
   4      cloves        garlic -- peeled
   2      cans          garbanzo beans -- well drained
     1/2  teaspoon      ground cumin
   1      teaspoon      coriander seeds
                        salt -- to taste

Preparation:

Combine first five ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth. Add chickpeas and seasonings and blend to puree. Taste and adjust flavors to suit (I usually like a little more lemon.). The mixture you get before adding the chickpeas is also delicious, although extremely strong in garlic :>). Use a bit less garlic, thin with water and you've got a delicious salad dressing. Unfortunately, a very high fat salad dressing, though. Craig Claiborne's Favorites from the New York Times, vol.
