It's not completely accurate to call this a hummus recipe. This dish is actually somewhere wonderfully in between hummus and a creamy, indulgent artichoke dip. That makes it a perfect hybrid creature in our book, as the addition of chickpeas brings protein and ballast. This spread could now carry a sandwich all on its own, with the addition of a few fresh vegetables. Or, as seen here, it's a nice variation on a party dip. Glowing magenta pomegranate seeds add colour and tartness. You could also add fresh chopped herbs on top for colour and flavour. Parsley, mint, or both would work beautifully.
