Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 teaspoons salt
• juice of 2 lemons
• 3-1/2 cups Freshly Cooked Chickpeas (Recipe under Dips & Spreads as "Slow Cooker Chick Peas for Hummus)
• 1/2 cup tahini
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1 about 1 cup olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Place the garlic and 1 teaspoon of salt in a food processor. (If you have a mini prep, you’ll have to do this in two batches.) Process until the garlic is pureed, then add the lemon juice. Pulse again.

Reserving a few chickpeaas for garnish, add 3-1/2 cups of chickpeas (that’s about what the slow cooker should have yielded) and 1/4 cup of their cooking liquid. Add the tahini, the cumin, and 1/2 cup olive oil, and pulse to create a dip, adding more tablespoons of cooking liquid as you go as necessary to make a smooth paste. Drizzle in most of the rest of the olive oil and the second teaspoon of salt, tasting as you go until the hummus is rich and creamy.

Scrape the hummus into a bowl. Top with a few chickpeas, drizzle with a little more olive oil, and sprinkle with cumin. Serve with warm triangles of pita.
