Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Soak the chickpeas in water overnight, using a larger container as they absorb water quickly; by morning, they will be dry if there isn't enough liquid. Without changing the water, place it on the stove, adding more water if necessary. Cook the chickpeas for about 2 hours and 30 minutes over medium heat, checking with a spoon; they should fall apart when pressed but should not turn to mush.
Step 2
Remove from heat and blend the chickpeas into a puree using a blender, adding olive oil. At the same time, in a frying pan (or pot), toast the sesame seeds until golden, then grind them; I used a regular coffee grinder.
Step 3
Add the ground sesame seeds (this is the tahini) to the blended chickpeas, along with lemon juice and olive oil (it's important that the mixture is moist, not dry).
Step 4
Then add the spices, blend again, add the pine nuts, and mix.
Step 5
The final step is decoration: Place the hummus in a clear container, drizzle with oil, and garnish with paprika and pine nuts!
