The Secret Ingredient (Sesame): Super Sesame Hummus Recipe

• 1/4 cup raw sesame seeds
• 1 pound, 13 ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup sesame tahini
• 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
• zest and juice of 1 lemon
• salt
• 2 tablespoons water
• 4 whole wheat pitas, cut into eighths
• Olive oil for drizzling
• Salt

1. In a small saute pan, toast the sesame seeds, over medium heat, turning very often for 30 seconds. Remove to a bowl to cool.
2. Add all the ingredients, including the sesame seeds (reserving a few for garnish), to the food processor except the water. Puree until very smooth. Add the water as needed to obtain the smooth, thick, desired texture.
3. Top with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and any remaining toasted sesame seeds.
4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
5. Lay the pita wedges out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Toss to coat.
6. Bake for 10 minutes, or until just golden and crisp. Serve with Super Sesame Hummus.
