Method

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, crushed garlic, lemon juice, and hot water. Process until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
  2. Prepare the Dukka: In a dry skillet over low heat, toast the sesame seeds, cumin seeds, and ground coriander for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly until fragrant. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, lightly toast the chopped hazelnuts for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Mix the toasted hazelnuts and salt into the seed and spice mixture. Store any excess in an airtight container for up to one week.
  5. To serve, spread the hummus onto toasted whole-wheat pita bread and generously sprinkle with the prepared Dukka.

Notes:

Dukka is incredibly versatile; try it on salads, roasted vegetables, or simply dipped with olive oil and warm bread. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can substitute the hazelnuts with sunflower seeds or extra sesame seeds. Store the remaining Dukka in a cool, dark place to maintain its crunch and aroma.
