INGREDIENTS

2 cups dried chickpeas

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 cup tahini

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

3 large garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Kosher salt

Extra-virgin olive oil, sumac, pomegranate seeds, roasted chickpeas, thinly sliced radishes and fresh mint, for garnish

Pita chips, radishes, 
baby fennel and carrots, for serving


HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

In a medium bowl, cover the dried chickpeas with 2 inches of water and stir in 1 teaspoon of the baking soda. Refrigerate the chickpeas overnight. 
Drain the chickpeas, then rinse them under cold water.


In a medium saucepan, cover the chickpeas with 
2 inches of fresh water. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of 
baking soda and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat 
for about 1 hour, until the chickpeas are very tender. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup of the cooking water. Rinse under cold water. 


In a food processor, combine the chickpeas with 1/2 cup 
of the reserved cooking water. Add the tahini, lemon juice, 
garlic and ground cumin; season with salt and puree until creamy (add more cooking water if necessary). Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with olive oil, sumac, pomegranate seeds, roasted chickpeas, thinly sliced radishes and mint. Serve with pita chips, whole radishes, fennel and carrots.
