   2      cans          chic peas -- rinsed and drained
     1/2  teaspoon      ground cumin
     1/2  teaspoon      ground coriander
     1/2  teaspoon      ground ginger
     1/2  teaspoon      dry mustard
     1/2  teaspoon      turmeric
     1/2  teaspoon      mild paprika
     3/4  cup           fresh orange juice
     1/3  cup           tahini
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
   3      tablespoons   cider vinegar
   3      cloves        garlic -- minced
   1      teaspoon      soy sauce
                        cayenne to taste

Preparation:

Combine everything in a food processor and puree until smooth. Transfer to a bowl or a container with a lid, cover tightly and chill. Serve as a dip, surrounded by an array of raw and or lightly steamed vegetables - or simply with crackers. This also goes beautifully in a toasted pita pocket with minced salad greens and chopped ripe tomatoes.
