Ingredients
White Sesame Seeds
1/4 cup White Sesame Seeds*
Cumin Seeds
2 Tbsp. Cumin Seeds*
2 (15 oz.) cans garbanzo beans, drained
1 to 3 cloves garlic, chopped
juice of 1 large lemon
1/4 cup water
1 to 2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. Ground Sumac
Ground Sumac Berries
Ground Sumac Berries
Directions
Toast White Sesame Seeds and Cumin Seeds together in a small skillet over medium heat for 1 to 3 min. or until fragrant. Immediately transfer to a food processer or blender. Blend to desired consistency; pulse just a few times for a coarse grind, or for 30 seconds or so for a finer texture. Add garbanzo beans, garlic, lemon juice and water and blend until smooth. With blender running, slowly drizzle in oil until hummus reaches desired consistency. Sprinkle with Sumac and a drizzle of olive oil just before serving. Store in the refrigerator and use with a week or so.
Recipe Notes
*You can use toasted sesame seeds and ground cumin instead, but we like the flavor impact of toasting and grinding the seeds fresh.
