Funny thing was I had the dry chickpeas for a year before I tried making hummus. But once you make it you'll never go back to store bought hummus again!

How To Make hummus

  • Freshly cooked garbanzos
    1
    to cook garbanzos, combine 1 cup dried garbanzos in 4 cups water with 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. Cook over low heat for 3 to 4 hours. Let cool completely before making your hummus.

    In food processor combine 2 cups cooked and cooled garbanzos, minced garlic and salt. Pulse for 20 to 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides and pulse again for another 20 seconds.
  • Tahini I use
