Moroccan Whole Chickpea Hummus

Moroccan Whole Chickpea Hummus

Serves 8

Adding whole chickpeas to hummus gives this dip a hearty, chewy texture. Here the chickpeas are sautéed with onion and spices for extra flavor. For extra flavor, garnish with olive oil, chopped green chiles, and chopped cilantro.
  • 2 Tbs. olive oil
  • ¼ cup finely diced white onion
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. ground caraway seeds
  • ½ tsp. ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp. curry powder
  • ⅛ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas or 1 15-oz. can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 Tbs. lemon juice
  • ½ cup finely chopped Italian parsley, plus extra leaves for garnish
  • 1 recipe Classic Hummus

1. Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, salt, caraway, cumin, curry, and pepper; sauté 5 to 7 minutes, or until onion is translucent. Add chickpeas; cook 2 minutes more. Stir in lemon juice and 1/4 cup water, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in parsley. Cool to room temperature.

2. Spread Classic Hummus in shallow dish, and mound chickpea mixture in center. Garnish with fresh parsley leaves.

Hi, I tried to look up substitutes for the caraway seeds and found that it's close to cumin, but you already have cumin in the recipe. Should I use more cumin if I can't find these seeds? What would you recommend? thanks!
