Steps:
- Place garlic, salt, tahini, and lemon juice into a food processor; process until smooth. Pour in the garbanzo beans and 1/2 cup olive oil; process until smooth again, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Once smooth, add the sun-dried tomatoes, and pulse until they have been chopped to very small pieces and are incorporated into the hummus. Finally, add the basil, and pulse a few times until mixed in.
- Spread the hummus into a shallow serving dish, and make a few decorative grooves on top. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with paprika before serving.

- If you don't have pine nuts, you can substitute walnuts or almonds.
- Add a little bit of lemon juice to taste. This will help to brighten up the flavors.
- Serve the pesto hummus with pita chips, vegetables, or crackers.
- If you are using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the hummus. You want it to be smooth, but not too thin.
- If you are making the hummus ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Sun-dried tomato pesto hummus is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. It is also a great way to use up leftover sun-dried tomatoes and basil. The hummus is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So experiment with different ingredients and flavors until you find the perfect combination for you.
