Juice of 1 lemon, more to taste
1 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 fat garlic clove or 2 smaller cloves, finely chopped
Pinch cayenne pepper, more for serving if desired
Pinch ground coriander
⅓ cup tahini
3 cups cooked chickpeas, or drained, canned chickpeas, warm or at room temperature
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 1/2 ounces maitake (hen-of-the-woods) or oyster mushrooms, cut into bite-size pieces
Chopped parsley
Sesame flatbread (see recipe) or raw vegetables or both

1
In a food processor, combine the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, cumin, black pepper, garlic, cayenne and coriander.
2
Pulse the mixture just enough to blend.
3
Add tahini and 1/3 cup warm water.
4
Pulse until smooth.
5
Add the chickpeas and puree until smooth and creamy.
6
This might take several minutes.
7
With the motor running, drizzle in 1/2 cup oil.
8
Taste and add more salt or lemon as needed.
9
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
10
Add the mushrooms.
11
Cook, tossing occasionally, but not too often, so that the surface of the mushrooms have time to brown; cook until very crisp and dark golden, 7 to 10 minutes.
12
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined dish to drain; sprinkle generously with salt while still hot.
13
Spread the hummus onto a platter and sprinkle with crisp mushrooms, parsley, cayenne if desired, and a drizzle of olive oil.
