Chickpeas

• 1 jalapeño—halved lengthwise, seeded and thinly sliced crosswise
• One 14-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 2 tablespoons Aleppo pepper (see Note)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground caraway
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• Kosher salt

Hummus

• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Direction

1. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the onion, garlic and jalapeño and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and golden, about 8 minutes. Add the chickpeas, Aleppo pepper, cumin, caraway and coriander and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spices are fragrant and the chickpeas are heated through, about 10 minutes. Season with salt.
2. In a food processor, combine the lemon juice and garlic and pulse until the garlic is very finely chopped. Let stand for 10 minutes, then add the chickpeas, tahini, cumin and 1/2 cup of water and puree until smooth. Season with salt.
3. Spoon the hummus onto plates and top with the spicy chickpeas. Garnish with the parsley and serve with lemon wedges and pita bread.
