• Optional sprinkle of sumac

1. Drain and rinse the chick peas.
2. In a food processor, combine all the hummus ingredients. Process for several minutes until a smooth, creamy consistency develops, scraping down the sides as needed. If you have trouble getting a smooth hummus, add a little splash of water or olive oil (the latter with yield a richer hummus). Repeat as needed.
3. Place the hummus in a serving bowl and give it a nice swirl on top.
4. Drizzle additional olive oil into the hummus swirl, then surround the swirl with pistachios, sesame seeds, and herb leaves. Finally, sprinkle the surface of the hummus with some additional salt and perhaps some sumac.
