Directions:
- Prepare an ice-water bath and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups salted water to a boil.
- Add asparagus and return water to boil.
- Cook about 4 minutes or until asparagus is cooked through and bright green.
- Drain asparagus and refresh in ice-water bath.
- After 5 minutes, drain and set aside.
- In a food processor, combine chickpeas, garlic, and tahini, and puree.
- Add zest, juice, and asparagus, and process until smooth.
- With machine running, pour in olive oil and process until well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with spiced pita chips.
- Dukkah Chips:
- Preheat oven to 375°. Separate each pita bread into two rounds.
- Brush cut sides with olive oil, then cut into small wedges.
- Place wedges on a baking sheet; set aside.
- Heat a heavy, dry skillet over high heat; add pistachios and toast about 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Remove nuts to a medium mixing bowl. In the same skillet, toast sesame seeds about 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Add seeds to pistachios.
- Repeat toasting process with coriander, cumin, and fennel, adding to same bowl.
- Add peppercorns, dried mint, and salt.
- Use a mortar and pestle to crush ingredients until they are the size of small bread crumbs (or pulse in a food processor to a dry, coarse consistency - be careful not to overprocess).
- Sprinkle dukkah spice mixture evenly over oiled pita wedges and toast the pita in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
