Instructions
- Remove 1/3 cup chickpeas from the rest and set aside. Combine remaining chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, tahini, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the knife blade. Process until smooth. With the motor running, add 2 tbsp olive oil until hummus is light and smooth. If mixture seems too stiff, add warm water by the tablespoonful until desired consistency is reached. Adjust seasoning as desired.
- In a small saucepan, heat remaining olive oil over medium-low. Add chickpeas and sauté 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through and lightly browned.
To serve
- Transfer hummus to a plate and mound warm chickpeas in the centre. Sprinkle everything with sumac and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle all over with olive oil and serve with fresh pita bread or pita chips.
