A staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, hummus is made by blending cooked chickpeas with tahini, lemon, and garlic until smooth. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with warm pita or flatbread for a light yet filling appetizer.
Drain the cooked chickpeas and set a few aside for garnish. Put the rest in a food processor.
Add the tahini, lemon juice, crushed garlic, salt, and olive oil. Process until smooth, adding a few spoonfuls of water to thin it if needed.
Spread the hummus on a serving plate and make a well in the center with a spoon. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the reserved chickpeas and red pepper flakes, and serve.
Blend the chickpeas for a long time to get a smooth texture, adding a few spoonfuls of cooking liquid if needed. Contains sesame (tahini); reduce the garlic if you are sensitive to it.
