Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preparation method for herb oil

Toast the coriander, cumin, fennel, and sesame seeds in a cast-iron pan until the sesame seeds are beautifully golden and your kitchen smells like vacation.
Put everything in a mortar and let it cool down.
Add thyme, sumac powder, and olive oil and mix together.

Preparation method for hummus

Put everything in the food processor and blend until a homogeneous mass. If you find it too thick, you can add extra broth.
Scoop the hummus onto a large plate.
Make a large well with a spoon and decorate creatively to your heart's content.
Serve the herb oil at the table with a confident swirl around the hummus.
Serve with crackers like my fennel-sesame crackers.
Enjoy!
