Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Method
Put chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, soy sauce, cumin, coriander, garlic, and 1/4 cup water into a food processor and purée until smooth.
Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
Before serving, let hummus come to room temperature, then stir in parsley.
Divide hummus between 6 slices of bread and spread out evenly with a knife.
Top with remaining slices of bread and press each sandwich down lightly.
Using a large cookie cutter (any shape you'd like), cut out the sandwiches and transfer to a platter.
Cut the remaining part of each sandwich into geometric shapes and transfer to the platter, if you like.
Serve immediately, or cover platter with a slightly dampened paper towel and plastic wrap, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
