How to Make Pine Nut Hummus
- Mince 4-6 cloves of garlic (depending on your garlic-loving preference!) and mash into a paste with 1/2 teaspoon of salt using a knife or the flat side of a chef's knife.
- In a food processor, combine 1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed, the garlic paste, 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1/4 cup water. Process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more lemon juice for brightness or salt to enhance the flavors.
- Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. It should be smooth and spreadable.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 2 tablespoons of pine nuts.
- Pulse the food processor a few times to incorporate the pine nuts and cilantro without over-processing.
- Taste again and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with remaining whole pine nuts and extra chopped cilantro.
- Serve with your favorite vegetables, pita bread, or naan. Enjoy!
