  • This chickpea-purée dip is hugely popular in Israel and across the Middle East. There are many versions—Moroccan, Turkish, Lebanese—but we'll make hummus the traditional Jewish way. The main ingredient is dried chickpeas (garbanzo beans), which grow mainly in the Middle East, India, and the southern United States. You'll find them in most large grocery stores, so they aren't hard to track down. We used Indian chickpeas, but the hummus tasted just like what you'd get in Israel—even better than the canned hummus on Israeli store shelves. First, sort the chickpeas, rinse them, and soak them in cold water with the baking soda for 24 hours. Then rinse thoroughly, cover with fresh water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 6 hours. Rinse well again, slip off any skins, and mash all the chickpeas into a smooth mass—use a blender or press them through a coarse sieve. Season with salt to taste. Now toast the sesame seeds over low heat, let them cool, and grind them in a blender until you have a loose paste (about the consistency of a thick vegetable spread). That's your tahini. Stir the tahini into the chickpea purée, thin it with the water, add the lemon juice and the garlic (crushed in a blender or run through a press), drizzle in the olive oil (or another vegetable oil), and blend everything thoroughly until smooth and uniform. Done—now you can serve it. Enjoy it with warm flatbread, pita, or any vegetable side. Bon appétit!
