Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 can garbanzo beans -- (15 oz) drained (reserve small amount of liquid)
1 jar marinated artichoke hearts -- (6.5 oz) drained and rinsed well
1 pinch cumin
1 pinch pepper
olive oil -- small amount to moisten (garlic infused if you have it)

Mix all ingredients in a small food processor, including the beans liquid.
(I use a Magic Bullet, which isn't near as cool as the infomercials made
it out to be.) Add olive oil in small amounts at a time, mixing after
each, until it is a nice smooth texture. Serve room temperature or chilled
with pita bread, crackers or rice chips.

Makes around 1 1/2 cups (6 one-quarter cup servings)

ChupaNote: I added 2 T. freshly squeezed lemon, and about 2 T. canola oil.
If the artichoke hearts are packed in a good vinaigrette, you could use
that. I used a good deal more cumin, and a fair amount of Aleppo red
pepper. Some minced fresh jalapeno adds a nice bit of heat as well.
Without tahini, I wouldn't really call this hummus. But its a very tasty
garbanzo artichoke dip. Garnish with kalamata olives, a little minced
parsley, and some more Aleppor red pepper for color.
