The Rooftop by JG’s Green Chickpea Hummus
12 ounces of fresh shelled green chickpeas or garbanzo beans, plus extra for garnish
½ teaspoon of chopped garlic

1 tablespoon chopped jalapeno

Blanch the chickpeas in a pot of boiling water just until tender, 1 to 2 minutes, then shock in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the chickpeas well and add to the bowl of a food processor, along with the garlic, lemon juice, jalapeno and ½ cup oil, processing until almost smooth but with a little texture. Season with salt to taste.
