Israeli Hummus with Paprika and Whole Chickpeas

Israeli Hummus with Paprika and Whole Chickpeas
Go to Recipe

"Hummus is the hardest thing to get right," says legendary hummus maker Mike Solomonov. "It has to be rich, creamy, and mildly nutty." To make his hummus luxuriously smooth, he soaks the chickpeas overnight with baking soda to soften them. While many Americans now flavor hummus with everything from pureed red peppers to fresh herbs, Solomonov says among the fanciest garnishes you can find in Israel are whole chickpeas, paprika, and lemon-spiked tahini, used for hummus masabacha.

Soft, sweet and earthy, roasted beets make for a vivid pink dip that's a fun take on hummus. If you are pressed for time, use the preroasted beets available in many supermarket produce sections instead of roasting your own.

Grilled Carrot Hummus

To mimic the creamy texture of chickpeas, the carrots are parboiled and finished on a hot grill. A turn over the fire brands the carrots with a smoky charred flavor that complements their natural sweetness. You can grill the carrots a couple days in advance — a perfect way to make the most of lingering heat after you've fired up something else for dinner.

Zucchini and mint make this lemony hummus extra perky and bright. Make sure to use a large, wide sauté pan with lots of surface area to get a nice sear on the zucchini. This brings texture that will make this vegetable topping even more delicious than if you piled it high in a smaller pan.
