Ingredients
Method
Make The Tahini
- Carefully toast the tahini until well-browned -- never for a moment taking your eye off the pan, and stirring constantly
- Transfer to a food processor. Pulse a few times to powder
- With the motor still running, drizzle in the olive oil until you have a thick-but-pourable paste
- Store in a glass jar, refrigerated
Make The Hummus
- Soak the chickpeas overnight and cook the next day with salt and a ¼ teaspoon of baking soda
- Boil the jackfruit seeds until tender, also with salt. If you have not removed the white, papery seed-coats prior to cooking, then be sure to remove them after the seeds are cooked.
- If you’ve not dry roasted the cumin, do it now. Transfer to a mortar and crush roughly with a pestle until ground but not too powdery.
- Assemble all hummus ingredients except the coriander or any fresh herbs you may be using in the jar of a food processor, and pulse to combine. Then add a few cubes of ice and blend again, slowly, until the mixture is thick and creamy.
- Jack seeds are crumbly, thirsty little beings, so don't hesitate to add water bit-by-bit until you have the smoothness you desire. You can also save a few seeds to add at the end (pulse to combine) if you prefer some chunky texture in your hummus.
- Now add the coriander and pulse until combined. Adjust salt and spices.
- Transfer to a serving dish and mix in half the olive oil. Use a spoon to create swirls, and drizzle the remaining half of the olive oil on top.
