Servings 24

Ingredients

  • 13.5 oz can of chickpeas
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 cup very finely diced radish
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 tsp sumac
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 garlic clove peeled and smashed
  • 1 Tbsp tahini
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 leaves Belgian endives separated from root, washed, and dried

Instructions

  • In small pot with lid, add contents of can of chickpeas and cover with an additional can of water. On high heat, bring to a boil with lid on. Once boiling, remove lid and reduce heat to medium- high. Allow to simmer for 20 minutes, until chickpeas are soft. Reserve about 1 Tbsp of liquid and drain the rest. Allow chickpeas to cool slightly. Remove 1/4 cup chickpeas to medium-sized bowl and combine with cilantro, diced radish, pomegranate seeds, sumac, cinnamon, and honey. Set aside.
  • Blend remaining chickpeas with garlic, tahini, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and 1 Tbsp of the cooking water until smooth. Add olive oil and give a final blitz to combine.
  • Add resulting smooth hummus to the chickpea-radish-pomegranate mixture and stir to combine. Use small spoon to fill endive leaves and garnish with additional pomegranate seeds and more chopped cilantro.
