Try this Hummus recipe for a wonderful dip for your flatbread.

Makes about 3 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 cups canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), liquid reserved
  • 2/3 cup tahini paste*
  • 5 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Method: How to make hummus

1. In a food processor, puree the chickpeas, tahini, 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice and garlic until smooth, adding a little of the reserved liquid if the mixture seems too thick; it will be slightly grainy.

2. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a shallow bowl or plate. Combine the paprika and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, drizzle the mixture over the top, and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

* You can make your own tahini paste in a food processor or blender by grinding toasted sesame seeds. Toast the sesame seeds over medium heat until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
