SMASHED CHICKPEA, BASIL, AND RADISH DIP WITH PITA CHIPS

Steps:

• Lightly mash chickpeas, oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl until creamy but still chunky. Stir in basil, radishes, garlic, and lemon juice. Stir in reserved chickpea liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dip holds together. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Serve with pita chips.

BASIL & CHICKPEA DIP

Steps:

• Place basil, garlic and walnuts in food processor. Pulse to chop. Add chickpeas and puree. Add lemon juice, olive oil and generous pinch of cayenne. Pulse for 2 - 3 seconds. Taste and season with salt before serving.

CHICKPEA SPREAD

Steps:

• Brush the onion slices with a little olive oil and season with kosher salt and pepper. On a hot griddle pan or in a cast-iron skillet, grill until tender and slightly char-marked.
• In a food processor, combine the grilled onion, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, shallots, basil, and cumin. Pulse into a chunky purée. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil, then the lemon juice. The mixture should be quite smooth.
• Transfer to a large bowl and add the Chickpea Confit. Fold together to blend. Return to the food processor in batches, and purée until the mixture is smooth and thick. Season to taste with pepper and salt (if the sun-dried tomatoes are very salty, you may not need much). The texture is a matter of taste; if it is very thick, add a little more olive oil to yield a creamier result. Well covered, the spread will last for at least a week in the refrigerator.
• For two different textures, puree half the spread until very smooth and pale, and leave the other half chunky.
• If you refrigerate the spread overnight, you can return it to a nice creamy texture by rewhipping in the food processor (pulse on and off for 1 minute).
• The Wedge: Cut a small triangle of pita and smear with Chickpea Spread. Top with a pinch of crumbled feta and some sliced scallions, picked sprigs of parsley or dill, and a few slivers of olive.
