Preparation Method
- Heat a small skillet over medium heat, add the sesame seeds, and toast them, shaking the pan often, until they are brown and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the sesame seeds to a plate to cool.
- Place the sesame seeds in the blender, followed by the olive oil, sesame oil, chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and ½ cup water (or chickpea cooking liquid). Select MANUAL/SPEED 3 and pulse to roughly combine.
- Select the PUREE setting, using the tamper as needed to stir the mixture. Once the cycle finishes, adjust the consistency of the hummus, if you like, by adding up to ½ cup more water to thin it. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and lemon juice as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle paprika on top, and serve with pita, crackers, or vegetables.
