We thought we’d had enough hummus bastardizations. Then we went to Georgia and had sunflower hummus! At Craft Wine Restaurant in Tbilisi, chef Giorgi Andghuladze makes hummus with sunflower seeds in place of tahini. Look for sunflower butter in the supermarket near the peanut butter. Even brands that contain sugar work fine; they tend to be only lightly sweetened. For pops of bright, tangy flavor, garnish with pomegranate seeds in addition to roasted sunflower seeds.
Tip
Don’t drain both cans of chickpeas. Drain only one can, and add the other, with its liquid, to the saucepan. The starchy liquid is pureed into the chickpeas to give the hummus rich creaminess.
