1/2 cup sesame seeds
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for serving
15-ounce can chickpeas, drained
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 cloves garlic
11/2 tablespoons honey
Paprika (for garnish)
Heat a heavy skillet over a medium flame. Add the sesame seeds and toast, stirring constantly, until just lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer the seeds to the bowl of a food processor.
Add the oil and pulse until the seeds are coarsely chopped. Add all remaining ingredients except the paprika and pulse until hummus is well combined but still slightly chunky.
Transfer hummus to a bowl. If serving immediately, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika. Otherwise, tightly cover the hummus with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Before serving refrigerated hummus, allow it to come to room temperature, then stir and garnish. Makes about 2 cups.
