Here's a simple one...
Drain 2 cans chick peas (garbanzo beans) into a strainer, rinse, then remove the outer skin by lightly running between your fingers. This can be very time consuming, but is worth the effort for a smoother texture.
Place chick peas in a food processor, along with a small can of chopped black olives. Add a few cloves of chopped garlic (about 1tsp or so), a few grinds of black pepper, and a small sweet onion.
Drizzle in some olive oil as the mixture blends, it should have a nice creamy texture when done. Taste, and re-season as necessary.
