Mediterranean Hummus like never before

Great hummus recipe

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Place chickpeas in a pot and fill with water about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) over the chickpeas. Add baking soda and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let it cook on a low boil for 1-2 hours, stirring every once in a while. Check if it's ready by taking out a chickpea after about an hour, letting it cool a bit, and then mashing it between your fingertips. It should be soft on the inside. If it's hard to mash and dry and crumbly inside, let it cook for another 30 minutes and check again. When ready, drain and cool completely. This step can be done a day in advance, just drain and refrigerate.

Step 2

Place the chickpeas in a food processor or blender. Add all remaining ingredients except the ice. Blend until it starts to mash. It should be very thick. Add 2 ice cubes and keep on processing. The chummus should start to thin out and become smooth. If needed, add more ice one at a time to adjust the texture.
