Avocado bi Tahina, Lebanese, suitable as mezze

Blend all ingredients in a food processor until puree-like. Serve in small bowls, sprinkled with cayenne pepper if desired. Flatbread goes perfectly with this dish. Tahini is a sesame paste that can be purchased in jars or cans in Arab and Turkish grocery stores. I recommend the cans from Arab stores.
