Ingredients

2 garlic cloves

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 15 oz cans of chickpeas

1/2 cup tahini

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

2 teaspoons honey

* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


Directions

On a cutting board and using the blade and flat side of a large, sharp knife, mince and mash the garlic and salt to make a paste. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, pulse the ceci beans with the garlic paste, tahini, onion, the 1/4 cup of oil, lemon juice, vinegar, red pepper, and honey. Scrape down the sides of the bowl several times and pulse until the mixture is smooth. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. The texture of the paste should be that of spreadable peanut butter; if necessary, thin it with water and pulse again. Spread the bean paste on the bruschetta. Sprinkle with pine nuts, tarragon, and parsley. Drizzle with olive oil, and serve garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over the bruschetta.

So far my favourite hummus. You can vary the flaked red pepper (I use a little more). The little bit of honey sweetens it nicely.
