Preparation
To a food processor, add chickpeas and tahini, squeeze in juice from 2 lemon halves, add garlic, salt, cumin, and a drizzle of olive oil. Process and pulse the mixture to aerate for a bit, thinning with water if too thick. Adjust the salt, lemon juice and olive oil to taste.
Transfer to a shallow bowl. Top with copious amounts of za'atar, drizzle with olive oil and finish with a puddle of cilantro or parsley or both in the center. Serve with whatever your favorite dipper is or anything you want to put a schmear of hummus on.
