hummus

the most amazing hummus recipe ever:
1 1/2 cups cooked or canned chick-peas, drained and
rinsed
3 cloves roasted garlic (see note)
1 chipotle pepper, canned in adobo (see note 2)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini
1/4 c olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

place the chick-peas, chipotle, cumin, honey, lemon
juice, and tahini in processor and process until
smooth. with the motor running, slowly add the oil
until emulsified. add the parsley and season with
salt and pepper. may be aerated for 1 day; serve at
room temperature. make about 1 1/2 cups.

notes:
1. to oven-roast a head of garlic, first cut off the
top. rub the garlic with olive oil and sprinkle with
salt and pepper, wrap it in foil, and place it on a
baking sheet. roast at 300 degrees F until soft,
about 45 minutes.
2. canned chipotle peppers in adobo and ancho chile
powder are available at hispanic or gourmet markets.

then use pitas grilled and salted with kosher salt.
