Ingredients

1/4 cup White Sesame 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 Berries

Directions

Step 1 Toast White Sesame Seeds and Cumin Seeds together in a small skillet over medium heat for 1 to 3 min. or until fragrant.

Step 2 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.

Step 3 Add garbanzo beans, garlic, lemon juice and water and blend until smooth.

Step 4 With blender running, slowly drizzle in oil until hummus reaches desired consistency.

Step 5 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.
