Sunchoke & Dukkah Hummus

I think I am running out of stories behind all the different hummus flavors I am making. The long story short is I just love hummus and after tasting the creaminess of sunchokes, I knew it would make a really good hummus, and so I made one!

Have you ever used Dukkah before? It is an Egyptian spice that traditionally includes nuts hazelnuts, sesame seeds, coriander, and cumin. You can easily make this combination at home, but I also found the spice mix at Trader Joes’s Trader Joe’s version includes almond, sesame seeds, fennel, coriander, and anise. For me the anise was a little strong in this version. The spice is most often used on meats and seafood and can also be used in olive oil to dip with pita, so hummus seemed a natural next step.
