• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 (19-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
• 1 garlic clove, quartered

Preparation

• Preheat broiler.
• Cut bell pepper in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Place pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil 10 minutes or until blackened.  Peel.
• Place bell pepper and remaining ingredients in a food processor; process until smooth.
• Add water to help it move along and keep adding the water until it reaches a whipped thickness. It helps get the lumps out the more liquid.

Tahini: Take 1.2 cup regular sesame seeds (I found them at a local imports store)  and 8 tsp of little olive oil and heat them on the stove a few minutes on high till they start "popping". Place into a blender and make smooth. Add olive oil to help it blend. Maybe even a little water. It needs to be really thin.
