👨‍🍳 Method

For the Hummus

  1. 1
    Drain, reserving a cup of the cooking liquid.
    Colander
  2. 2
    Mix the tahini, lemon juice, garlic and cumin and season with salt.
  3. 3
    Transfer the tahini sauce to a food processor, add the chickpeas, still warm, and process 3–5 minutes, until it is completely smooth.
    Food processor
    💡Grind the chickpeas while they are still warm: warm chickpeas grind into a smoother cream than cold ones.
  4. 4
    Gradually add the water, until the hummus is creamy and airy, and a little thinner than the texture you want: it thickens as it stands.
    💡Ice water, not ordinary water, gives hummus an airy, pale texture: the tahini emulsifies with it like mayonnaise.
  5. 5
    Spread on a plate, make a well in the center and add the olive oil and paprika.

For the Hot Topping

  1. 6
    Warm the ful in a small pot with the olive oil, garlic and cumin for 3–4 minutes, and season with salt.
    StoveSmall saucepan
  2. 7
    Place the hot topping in the center of the hummus and serve.
