Immerse sun-dried tomatoes in boiling water until softened, and chop the tomatoes in smaller pieces. Drain the chickpeas, and in a food processor combine all ingredients for hummus, except for the oil. Process until smooth while adding the 1/4 cup of oil in steady stream. Add sea salt to taste.
Notes
Hummus can be enjoyed with a number of different foods, like fresh vegetable slices. For something a little different, try it on olive bread with sprouts and tomatoes like we did in this hummus sampler pictured above.
