Ingredients:
1 1/2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 cups soybeans
1 tablespoon roasted sesame tahini
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh parsley
salt to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons water or vegetable broth

Directions:
1. Soak the soybeans in a large pot of water in the refrigerator overnight. Drain the soybeans and cook them at a strong simmer in fresh water for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until very tender.

2. Preheat the broiler. Broil the garlic cloves for 5 to 10 minutes, or until they just begin to brown and can be pierced easily with a fork.

3. In a food processor, combine the garlic with the cooked soybeans, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice and parsley. Blend until smooth, adding salt to taste and water or broth until the desired consistency is reached. It can be made thick to spread on bread or crackers, or thin for use as a dip for veggies or chips.
