If you’ve never tasted homemade hummus, you’re missing out. Who would’ve imagined the simple chickpea can elevate any meal when turned into a creamy spread? After drizzling with olive oil, I often top with whole chickpeas. Other toppings include cooked ground beef with pine nuts or harissa with roasted bell pepper strips. This recipe adds some rosh hashanah themed toppings to enhance your meal. Because I am not a fan of sesame paste, I never include it in my hummus, but everyone keeps going back for more. If you can’t do without it, add ½ cup sesame paste to the processor. Recipe may be doubled for a large crowd, and stays fresh in the refrigerator in a sealed container for 1-3 days.
