Chick-Pea and Sesame Dip

In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, water, oils, tahini, cumin, lime juice, Tabasco, garlic, and salt. Puree until light and fluffy.

If you are using a blender, the ingredients may be divided into 2 or 3 separate batches. Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the mixture is too thick, add more lime juice or sesame oil.

Scrape into a decorative bowl and garnish with the pepper strips.

Serve with triangles of warm or toasted bread.
