Answers:
For a small pack of chick peas ( 450g): You boil to cook the chick peas, then blend them without the cooking water, add 1-2 tbs of sesame oil, lemon juice and a little garlic.
You can decorate it with some parsley on that dip, in a large plate.
I always eat it as a spread on bread.
It's a "fluffy", healthier dip for vegetables and crackers. It's really good.
Hummus is a dip from the Middle east made with lemon and chickpeas. It is enjoyed with bread usually. My mom's friend is from Lebanon and she makes this for us all the time.

Hummus is a wonderful dip/spread that is made from chick peas (aka Garbonzo Beans) that ground up into almost a paste by using a blending device (like a stick blender or a robo coupe). By adding different spices and ingredients you can personalize the hummus.
I use sun-dried tomatoes and garlic in mine.
