Begin by preparing the Hickory Smokehouse hummus from the recipe book.

Use 1 can of unsalted chickpeas as the base.

Add 2 tablespoons of sesame tahini to the chickpeas.

Pour in 3 tablespoons of aquafaba to make the hummus firmer.

Add 2 cloves of garlic to the mixture.

Incorporate 1 tablespoon and a half of tahini (correcting the previous amount).

Add hot sauce, preferably Frank's, to taste.

Mix in 1/4 teaspoon of cumin for flavor.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika.

Include 1/4 teaspoon of liquid smoke for a smoky flavor.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

Blend the mixture until smooth and thick.

Transfer the hummus onto a board as the base for the toppings.

Prepare toppings starting with brussels sprouts that have been broiled to crisp the tips.

Add caramelized balsamic shallots, which were prepared with balsamic vinegar and fresh thyme.

Include shelled peas as a colorful topping.
