An absolute explosion of flavor and sensation. This will be a hit at any gathering. So easy to whip up using the food processor. For best results, refrigerate for a couple hours after making, just so the flavors can mingle a little. Although, it's excellent anytime!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can chickpeas drained (1/4 chickpea water, reserved)
  • 1/4 cup chickpea water
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes jarred – soaked in oil
  • 2 tablespoons oil from the sundried tomato jar

Garnish

  • 2 sundried tomatoes diced
  • 5-6 chickpeas whole
  • 1/2 `cup fresh basil leaves sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Assemble all of the ingredients (except for the garnishes) in the bowl of a food processor. Whir until you have a smooth hummus.
  • Turn hummus out onto a serving plate. I like to draw wavy lines in the hummus so the garnish olive oil pools in the crevices. Garnish with diced sundried tomatoes, whole chickpeas, fresh basil leaves, olive oil and a pinch of pepper.
  • Serve with chips, crackers or little toasts.
