Smooth Homemade Hummus
  1. Add your dry chickpeas to a bowl and completely submerge with water. Allow them to soak for 8-12h or overnight

  2. Rinse your chickpeas, then add to a pot with the baking soda. Pour water over the chickpeas to cover them by about 2 inches

  3. Turn the heat up to high and bring the pot to a boil. When the chickpeas foam up, stir the foam back into the pot and turn the heat to medium.

  4. Cook for half an hour, then remove some of the chickpeas and set aside to use as a garnish later

  5. Place a lid on your pot and cook the chickpeas for another 30-60 minutes

  6. The chickpeas are done cooking when they are extremely soft and have burst. They should mash very easily and the skins should have dissolved

  7. Allow any extra water to evaporate away

  8. Pour the cooked chickpeas onto a plate, and allow it to cool completely until room temp

  9. Add your prepared chickpeas to a food processor or blender, and process for 3-4 minutes, scraping down the side of the bowl halfway, until the chickpeas are processed into a super fine paste

  10. Add 70g of ice into the food processor, and process into the chickpeas until light and fluffy

  11. Add the tahini and mix it in. Then when that has been fully incorporated add the lemon juice

  12. You can now adjust to your desired acidity/thickness by adding citric acid or more ice

  13. Store in the fridge for up to a week
