Instructions

Step 1

Place chickpeas in a bowl of water and rub them together to peel the skin (optional step, but it create a creamy texture).

Step 2

Drain the garbanzo beans and transfer them to a food processor. Blend them alone until they become powder-like, scraping down the sides as needed.

Step 3

Add lemon juice, tahini, garlic cloves and salt and 2-3 ice cubes, and blend for about 5 minutes until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed by adding more salt or lemon juice.

Step 4

Spoon the hummus on to a plate or bowl and spread the hummus with the back of a spoon to create swirls.

Step 5

Assemble the remaining ingredients on top of the hummus as desired.
