Instruktioner

Soak the chickpeas: If using canned chickpeas, you can skip to step 4. Place dried chickpeas in a large bowl, cover with water, and soak overnight.

Cook the chickpeas: The next day, drain the chickpeas cover with 2 inches of water. Bring to boil over high heat, then reduce the heat so the chickpeas are at a simmer. Simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Remove the skins: Add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda to the water with the chickpeas. Leave for a few minutes. Turn off the heat. Drain the chickpeas into a colander. While rinsing the chickpeas under running water, take a handful of chickpeas and rub them to remove the skins. Place peeled chickpeas in a bowl.

Puree the chickpeas: Add cooked (or canned) chickpeas and minced garlic to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the S-blade. Puree until a smooth, powder-like mixture forms.

Finish the hummus: While the food processor is running, feed 2 ice cubes, tahini, salt, and lemon juice through the tube, and process for about 4 to 5 minutes. Check, and if the consistency is too thick, run the processor and slowly add a little water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired silky smooth consistency.

Garnish and serve: Spread in a serving bowl and add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Top with a few chickpeas, if you like. Sprinkle with sumac. Enjoy with warm pita wedges and your favorite veggies.
