Ingredients

• 400 grams canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 clove garlic clove (small)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 3 tablespoons pine nuts
• 1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
• 15 grams fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (for parsley oil)

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic clove, olive oil, cold water, salt, and ground cumin.

Step 2

Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or water for your preferred consistency.

Step 3

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon to create shallow grooves.

Step 4

To make the parsley oil, blend the finely chopped parsley with the extra-virgin olive oil until well combined. Set aside.

Step 5

In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts and whole cumin seeds together. Stir frequently to avoid burning, and remove from heat once the pine nuts are golden brown and the cumin seeds become aromatic (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 6

Drizzle the parsley oil over the hummus, ensuring it pools lightly in the grooves you created earlier.

Step 7

Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts and cumin seeds evenly over the hummus.

Step 8

Serve immediately with warm pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers. Enjoy!
