2. Cook the Chickpeas:
   After 24 hours, drain the chickpeas, then transfer them to a pressure cooker. Add enough water to cover the chickpeas and cook for 15 minutes. Once cooked, drain the chickpeas, saving a small amount of the cooking liquid for later use. If you’re using pre-cooked canned chickpeas, simply drain and rinse them thoroughly.

3. Toast the Spices:
   In a medium-sized frying pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic clove, halved, and the cumin and turmeric. Toast the spices in the hot oil for about 30 seconds, allowing the aromas to develop.

4. Combine the Ingredients:
   Add the cooked chickpeas to the pan with the garlic and spices. Stir the chickpeas for about 3-4 minutes to let the flavors infuse.

5. Make the Hummus:
   Transfer the chickpeas, garlic, and spices to a food processor. Add the tahini and fresh lemon juice. Season with salt to taste. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add a few tablespoons of the reserved chickpea cooking water to achieve a creamier consistency.

6. Assemble the Appetizers:
   Allow the hummus to cool. Once it has cooled, spread a generous spoonful of hummus on each cracker. Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley to add a burst of color and freshness.
