  • 3/4 c. Extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp. Pine nuts
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 2 can Chickpeas, (19-oz)
  • 4 x Garlic cloves
  • 2/3 c. Well-stirred tahini*, (Middle Eastern sesame paste)
  • 2/3 c. Water
  • 5 Tbsp. Fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Available at natural foods stores and some supermarkets
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add in tahini, water, lemon juice, salt, remaining chickpeas, and remaining 1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil and puree till smooth. Recipe may be prepared up to this point 3 days ahead. Keep hummus and parsley oil chilled, covered, and pine nuts and cumin seeds in an airtight container at room temperature. Bring parsley oil to room temperature before using.
