Hummus with Smoked Paprika Butter and Zaatar

• 1 1/2 cups dried chickpeas (12 ounces), soaked overnight and drained
• Salt
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 cup tahini (8 ounces)
• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon zaatar (see Note)
• Pita chips, for serving
• Warm pita bread, for serving
• Crudites, for serving

1. In a saucepan, cover the chickpeas with 4 inches of water; bring to a boil.
2. Simmer over moderate heat, skimming, until the chickpeas begin to break down, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
3. Season with salt and let cool in the water; drain, reserving 1 cup of the liquid.
4. Transfer the chickpeas and reserved cooking liquid to a food processor.
5. Add the garlic and lemon juice and puree until smooth.
6. Add the olive oil and tahini and process until creamy.
7. Season the hummus with salt and mound on a platter, making deep canyons with the back of a spoon.
8. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over moderate heat until the milk solids just begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
9. Stir in both paprikas and cook for 1 minute.
10. Pour the mixture into a heatproof cup and let the solids settle to the bottom.
11. Pour off the clear butter, discarding the solids.
12. Drizzle the warm butter on the hummus and sprinkle with the zaatar.
13. Serve with pita chips.
