Ingredients
Instructions
Pop the seeds of half the pomegranate into a bowl. Save the juice and discard any pith.
Add tahini and lemon juice in the bowl of your food processor. Pulse for about 1 minute, scraping the edges with a spatula as needed.
Add garlic, olive oil and salt, and pulse again until smooth.
Add chickpeas and saved pomegranate juice. Pulse until you reach the desired consistency, adding a little bit of water as needed (I added 1 tablespoon).
Transfer in a serving bowl, swirl the top and drizzle a little bit of olive oil. Sprinkle with sumac if using and scatter pomegranate arils. Serve with pita chips (or your favorite chips) and veggie sticks like carrot, cucumber, celery, and bell pepper.
If not serving straight away, transfer to an airtight container (or cover with plastic wrap) without the toppings, and add them at the last minute.
