INGREDIENTS FOR SUN-DRIED TOMATO HUMMUS:

• Chickpeas are also known as garbanzo beans.
• Tahini is simply sesame seed paste.
• Coriander adds a bright, citrusy note.
• Sun-dried tomatoe add an earthy, sweet flavor to the hummus.
• Roasting the garlic tones down the pungency.

HOW TO PREPARE HUMMUS:

• This recipe couldn’t be easier. First drain and rinse the can of garbanzo beans, then add them to the bowl of your food processor. Next, add the sun-dried tomatoes, roasted garlic, tahini, lime juice, smoked paprika, ground coriander, and Himalayan pink salt to the food processor.
• Give the processor a few pulses to start blending the ingredients. With the food processor running, drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil a few tablespoons at a time. Four tablespoons was perfect for the consistency that I like.
• Serve your hummus in a shallow bowl topped with freshly chopped parsley, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and an extra sprinkle of smoked paprika. Go ahead, dig in! Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to five days.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

• Simply serve with your favorite dippables such as fresh veggies, pita bread, or pita chips.
• Use as a spread for veggie wraps.
• Spread on sweet potato toast topped with fresh avocado.
• Use as the base for a Mediterranean flatbread pizza.
