This popular Middle Eastern sauce may be served with the traditional pita wedges or may
be used as a dip for fresh vegetable crudités. For something a little different, make the
original recipe, and then use half to make one of the variations.
Makes 2½ cups
¼ cup fresh fl at parsley leaves
2 strips lemon zest, ½ x 2 inches, bitter white scraped off
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 small garlic cloves
2 cans (15.5 ounces each) chickpeas, drained, rinsed and drained again
3 tablespoons tahini paste
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
5 tablespoons water
1½ teaspoons ground cumin
1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Insert the metal blade. Use the pulse to chop the parsley, 10 to 15 times. Remove and
reserve. Chop the lemon zest with the kosher salt using the pulse, 10 times. With the
machine running, drop the garlic down the feed tube, and process 10 seconds to chop.
Add the drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, water, and cumin to the work bowl,
processing 60 seconds to combine. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the work bowl.
With the machine running, add the olive oil in a slow steady stream, and process until the
hummus is smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add half the chopped parsley; pulse to
incorporate, 5 to 10 times. Allow the hummus to rest for 30 minutes before serving to
allow the fl avors to blend. Serve in a shallow bowl, sprinkled with the remaining chopped
parsley. If desired, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
