salt and pepper
1 tablespoon sesame oil
paprika
3 pieces pita bread

1  Purée drained garbanzos with 1/2 cup liquid from the can, minced garlic, and calamansi juice.

2  Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can add more liquid (from the can) if you want to adjust consistency.

3  Add sesame oil and purée again.

4  Pour into a bowl (or use ramekins or shot glasses for individual servings). Sprinkle paprika on top.
