Hummus with Maitake Mushrooms and Pine Nuts

Ingredients

Pine nuts - 1 cup
Olive Oil - 1½ teaspoons
Canola Oil - 1 tablespoon
Oyster Mushrooms - 15.9 oz
Coarse Salt - to taste
Lemon Juice - 1 fl oz
Garlic - 2 cloves
Tahini - 12.7 oz
Canned chickpeas - 6 cups
Ground Cumin - 1 teaspoon
Chopped Parsley - 1 tablespoon
Paprika - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 150˚C. In a bowl, mix the pine nuts with olive oil. Transfer to a baking sheet; roast, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

Step 2

In a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet, pour oil to a depth of 5 cm; heat over medium heat to 180˚C. Fry the mushrooms in batches in the oil (about 4 minutes). Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil; season with salt.

Step 3

To prepare the hummus: blend the garlic with lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Add tahini, chickpeas, cumin, and salt; blend until creamy. Transfer the hummus to a serving dish and create a well in the center; fill the well with mushrooms and pine nuts. Sprinkle with parsley and paprika; drizzle with olive oil.
