1 5oz. Can of Chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1 Large Clove Garlic, coarsely chopped

3 Tablespoons fresh Lemon Juice

3 Tablespoons Tahini (mix well before measuring)

2 Tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin

Kosher or Sea Salt

1 Large Seedless Cucumber

1/4 Cup Sour Cream, well stirred

2 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds, toasted until golden brown

Put the Chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, cumin, 1/4 tsp. salt and 2 Tbls.
water in a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. (This
mixture is your Hummus.)

Use a vegetable peeler to peel the cucumber skin lengthwise at 1/4" intervals to
create a striped pattern. Slice the cucumber crosswise into 1/4" rounds and set them
on a platter.

To assemble, lightly salt the cucumber rounds. Top each roound with a generous
teaspoon of hummus, and top the hummus with a small dollop of the sour cream.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
