Serving

Serves 6 as an appetizer (yields 1 1/2 cups hummus)

Ingredients

+

Hummus

  • 1 lb. Yellow potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon bittersweet smoked paprika, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
+

For Serving

  • 6-8 small carrots, cut into sticks
  • 1 bunch radishes, trimmed halved or quartered if large
  • 6-8 baby bell peppers, halved or quartered if large, seeds removed
  • 1/2 bunch skinny asparagus, ends trimmed

Preparation

  1. Pour water into a saucepan to a depth of about 2 inches, add a few pinches of salt, and set over medium-high heat.
  2. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and chop them into one-inch chunks.
  3. Once the water is boiling, cook potatoes for 6-7 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes, rinse them with cold water, and put them in the bowl of a food processor.
  4. Add sea salt (start with about a teaspoon) and the garlic and pulse a few times. Add the tahini, lemon juice, and paprika, and process until very smooth. With the processor running, add the olive oil in a steady stream and continue to blend until well combined. Taste and add additional salt if desired.
  5. Transfer the hummus to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika. Serve at room temperature with fresh vegetables.

 Notes

  • Instead of fresh vegetables, this dip is also delicious with pita chips or crackers.
