North African Hummus

INGREDIENTS
1    can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans
1    clove garlic, minced
2    tablespoons olive oil
3    tablespoons sesame seed paste
2    tablespoons preserved lemon, seeded, rinsed, drained
     or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1   teaspoon ground cumin
1   teaspoon ground coriander
1   teaspoon ground cinnamon

METHOD
Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Add small amounts of water or chicken broth to thin during the blending process, even to a thin consistency. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour during which the hummus will thicken. Serve with vegetable sticks and/or crackers.

NOTE:  The three spices can be reduced to ½ teaspoon each for a less-spicy hummus.
