You can make extra-creamy hummus by using chickpea flour instead of whole chickpeas. It's available in specialty stores and health food departments. The prepared chickpea paste is whipped with tahini, lemon juice and zest, and olive oil to create a smooth, airy spread that's perfect for dipping appetizers like fresh vegetables or crackers. To infuse extra-creamy hummus with a savory flavor, drizzle it with spicy red pepper oil.

Recipe:

Bring 2 3/4 cups salted water to a boil. Stir in 3/4 cup chickpea flour to form a paste and cook for 2 minutes. Blend in 1/4 cup tahini, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and the zest and juice of 1 lemon. Toast 1/4 teaspoon each cumin and fennel seeds in a frying pan, add a few red pepper flakes, and 2 tablespoons olive oil and cook for 30 seconds. Serve the hummus warm, drizzled with herb oil and sprinkled with chopped parsley.
