Hummus

Ingredients

• 1 package dried chickpeas (soaked overnight)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Water and salt
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 1 whole garlic clove
• Tahini
• Olive oil

Method

1. Soak the chickpeas overnight, then peel.
2. Combine the peeled chickpeas with the baking soda in a saucepan; cook over medium heat for 3 minutes.
3. Add water and salt; simmer, skimming off any foam or skins, until the chickpeas break apart when squeezed.
4. Rinse under cold water, then strain and remove any remaining skins.
5. Blend the lemon juice and garlic clove in a small blender. Mix with tahini until it forms a paste, then add water until it loosens into a batter.
6. Add the tahini mixture to the chickpeas along with olive oil and salt. Blend until smooth. Garnish and serve.
