How to Make Hommus Arabic Dip

  1. Boil 1 cup of dried garbanzo beans (or 2 cups cooked) for 5 minutes on medium heat, then drain and rinse.
  2. Place the drained garbanzo beans, 1/4 cup sesame tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 cloves crushed garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup water in a food processor.
  3. Blend for 20-30 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed, until completely smooth and creamy. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice to your preference.
  5. In a small pan, heat 1/4 cup pignoli nuts with 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until lightly golden brown (about 3-5 minutes). Set aside to cool.
  6. Transfer the hommus to a large, flat serving plate.
  7. Garnish generously with chopped fresh parsley, toasted pignoli nuts, thinly sliced radish, and a sprinkle of paprika.
  8. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the top.
  9. Serve immediately or chill for later. Hommus tastes best when served cold!
  10. Enjoy with warm pita bread or pita chips!
