Ingredients
  

  • 2 15.5 cans Chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tsp ground Cumin
  • 4 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Tahini paste
  • 2 - 3 Garlic cloves skin removed, can leave leave whole or minced
  • Lemon juice from 3 - 4 lemons
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

For the Pine Nuts:

  • ¼ cup Pine Nuts
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted Butter
  • 1 tsp crushed Chili flakes or Sumac

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • In a blender, add the drained Chickpeas and all ingredients through Lemon juice, blend until you have a smooth puree. Taste and adjust seasoning with Salt & Pepper and add a bit more Lemon juice if needed.
  • In a dry saute pan, toast the Pine Nuts until just starting to brown. Be careful not to burn. Once there's a bit of color on them, add in the Butter and allow to melt, swirling around to coat pine nuts. Add in the crushed Chili flakes, saute for 1 - 2 minutes.
  • In a 4 - 6 cup oven safe dish, pour in the Hummus, top with the buttery Pine Nuts, then bake for about 20 - 25 minutes.
  • Hummus will rise a bit, so make sure not to overfill dish. Once baked, remove from oven and serve immediately with crusty bread, crackers or pita bread.

Enjoy!
