HUMMUS WITH TOASTED PINE NUTS, CUMIN SEEDS AND PARSLEY OIL
Hummus is so common today it's almost become a little boring. Not this version! The starchiness of the chickpeas is counteracted by the sharpness of the parsley oil. Plus the bright green oil makes for an great presentation. Found this recipe in The Gourmet Cookbook.
