Instructions: 1. Place garlic, parsley, and scallions in a food processor or blender and mince.

2. Add chick peas, tahini, lemon juice, and salt, and puree to a thick paste. (You can also do the mincing and mashing by hand. The hummus wil have a coarser texture, but that can be nice too.)

3. Season to taste, if desired, with cayenne and cumin ( and correct he salt, if necessary).

Tranfer to a tightly lidded container and chill.
