Ingredients

Servings:6
  • 1 cup Dried chickpeas
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 cup Tahini
  • 1/4 cup Fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons Ice water
  • 1/4 teaspoon Paprika(optional)
  • 1 sprig Fresh parsley(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the dried chickpeas in plenty of water overnight (at least 12 hours) with half a teaspoon of baking soda.

  2. 2

    Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then place them in a pot with the remaining baking soda and cover with water by 2 inches.

  3. 3

    Bring to a boil, then simmer for 45-60 minutes until the chickpeas are very soft and the skins are falling off.

  4. 4

    Drain the chickpeas and rinse with cold water; for the smoothest texture, gently rub them to remove the loose skins.

  5. 5

    In a food processor, blend the tahini and lemon juice for 1 minute until creamy and whipped.

  6. 6

    Add the garlic, salt, and cumin to the processor and blend again until fully incorporated.

  7. 7

    Add the cooked chickpeas and olive oil, processing for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is thick and uniform.

  8. 8

    While the processor is running, drizzle in the ice water one tablespoon at a time until the hummus reaches a light, fluffy consistency.
