Curry Hummus

This is a recipe to make a really good
curry hummus that I like to use with
warm out of the oven naan bread.

Ingredients:
2 12 oz cans chickpeas – drained
3 garlic cloves crushed
2 tbs Tahini paste
1 tsp ground cumin
1 sweet onion – chopped
3 tsp yellow curry powder or
1 tsp of yellow curry paste
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
4-5 tbs olive oil – divided
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Bring a saucepan of water to boil,
add chickpeas and reduce to simmer for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, sauté onion and garlic
in 1-2 tbs of olive oil until softened.
Add cumin, curry powder and hot curry paste,
and another 2 tbs of olive oil.
Continue to sauté until onions are translucent.
Mixture will be yellowish-brown.
Blend softened chickpeas and
Tahini in food processor,
adding onion & garlic mixture
until thoroughly blended.
Add additional olive oil
until desired consistency.
Taste and add salt and pepper.
When mixture is creamy but not runny,
more like the consistency of mashed potatoes
transfer to serving dish and drizzle
with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika.
