Spicy Chickpea Purée

Use this green-flecked spicy spread in place of hummus for a change of pace. For the deepest flavor, take an extra moment to toast and grind the spices.

Ingredients
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 to 2  garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra to finish
1/2 cup cilantro
1  lemon, juiced
Directions
Toast the cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds in a small skillet over low heat, shaking the pan frequently. As soon as they release their aroma, after a few minutes, turn them onto a plate to cool.

By hand: In a large mortar, mash the toasted seeds, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cayenne until broken down. Add the chickpeas, oil and cilantro and mash until smooth. Season the purée with lemon juice and salt to taste.

In a blender or food processor: Coarsely chop the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cayenne, oil and cilantro with 1/4 cup water. Add the spice and chickpeas and purée until smooth.

Pour the purée into a dish, make a depression in the middle, and fill with a spoonful of olive oil.
