Ingredients:
- 1 cup chickpeas* ((uncooked / dry))
- 1 strip kombu ((seaweed for improved digestion // optional))
- 1/4 tsp baking soda ((for creamier texture // optional))
- 3 cloves garlic ((crushed + skins removed))
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 Tbsp olive oil ((if avoiding oil, sub water or more lemon juice))
- 1 Dash garlic powder ((optional))
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs ((such as cilantro, parsley, or basil // optional))
- Pita chips
- Cucumber
- Red bell pepper

- Add (uncooked) chickpeas to a large pot and cover with 2 inches water. Bring to a boil over high heat and boil for 1 minute. Then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 1 hour. This is a quick method. Alternatively, soak overnight or at least 6 hours in cool water.
- Drain and rinse chickpeas and add back to the pot. Cover with 2 inches water and add kombu (optional) for improved digestibility and baking soda (optional) for creamier texture (a reader tip!).
- Bring to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until tender (but not mushy). Remove kombu and discard. Drain. NOTE: You can optionally remove the skins from the beans at this point for creamier texture, but we don't have the patience for that.
- Add cooked chickpeas to a food processor or high-speed blender (a blender will get creamier texture!) along with garlic, tahini, lemon juice, sea salt, and olive oil (or water). Blend until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
- At this point, you can add garlic powder and herbs (optional). Blend and taste. Adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt for saltiness, lemon juice for acidity, garlic for “zing,” tahini for nuttiness, or fresh herbs for color and herbal flavor.
- If the hummus is quite thick, add water (or additional oil) to thin until a creamy dip has formed. Enjoy as is with vegetables, pita, or crackers. Leftovers will keep stored in the refrigerator up to 1 week (not freezer friendly — best when fresh).

Ingredients:
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons / 210g dried chickpeas *
- ½ teaspoon bicarb soda
- 1½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup / 85g hulled tahini
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- ⅓ cup / 80ml fresh lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon cumin powder (optional)
How to cook:
- In a bowl, add the dried chickpeas and 4 cups / 1 litre of water. Leave on your kitchen bench to soak overnight.
- Once the chickpeas have been rehydrated, drain the water they have been soaking in and add them to a medium saucepan with 5 cups / 1.25 litres of fresh water, with the bicarb soda and ½ teaspoon of the salt.
- Bring the chickpeas to a boil, then reduce to a simmer on medium heat and cook for 30-35 minutes until they’re super soft. To check, take one out, and if you can easily squeeze it between your fingers, they’re ready. (Please run the chickpea under cold water before trying this; otherwise, you may burn yourself). Most of the skins from the chickpeas will float to the top, and you can typically just collect them by scooping them from the top of the water. Rinse and repeat until you get most of the skins. Please don’t skip this step if you want creamy hummus!
- Add the drained chickpeas to your food processor* (leaving a couple of tablespoons aside for the topping) and blend until you get a smooth paste. This should take about a minute.
- If you find that your hummus is a little too thick, pour in cold water (around ¼ cup / 60ml) in one steady stream while the food processor is on. Add in the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt and cumin powder (if using). Blend on high for a few minutes, occasionally pausing to scrape down the sides.
- Transfer to a bowl and spread out with the back of a spoon creating small waves or a spiral. Top with the chickpeas you saved earlier, drizzle a generous amount of olive oil, sprinkle with some cumin powder and sumac.

Ingredients:
- 12 oz dried Chickpeas (about 2 cups), soaked in water overnight
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 3-5 cloves of Garlic
- Juice of 1 Lemon
- 1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 -3/4 cup Tahini (based on preference)
- 1 cup Ice Cold Water*, divided
- Optional Toppings: Olive Oil, Cumin, Smoked Paprika, Za’atar, etc.
How to cook:
- Soak Your Chickpeas
- in water for 12-24 hours, then drain and rinse them.
- Cook The Chickpeas
- with 3-5 cloves of raw Garlic (according to preference) and the Baking Soda (this softens them and makes them easier to peel).
- STOVETOP
- Add the Chickpeas, Garlic, and Baking Soda to a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 40 – 120 minutes, until the beans are tender.
- Peel the Chickpeas.
- Drain and rinse the cooked beans, until no bubbles remain. Set the cooked cloves of Garlic aside and peel the Chickpeas. The skins should slide off quite easily when you gently “pinch” each bean. Discard the Chickpea “skins” once finished.
- Make a Chickpea Puree
- by adding 3 cups of the peeled Chickpeas and cooked Garlic to the Food Processor, then seal it shut. Mix the Lemon Juice and Salt together in a small bowl until the Salt dissolves, then slowly pour this mixture into the Food Processor while it is running to puree the Chickpeas until they are smooth.
- Add Tahini and Water
- Add in 1/4 cup of Tahini to the Food Processor, then seal it and add in 1/3 cup of Ice Cold Water while it is running. Let the Food Processor run for 4-5 minutes, to help make the hummus fluffy and smooth. Add in extra Tahini and Water in 1/4 cup increments, if you would like your spread to be thicker or have a higher fat content (and be creamier).
- Serve
- with the remaining peeled Chickpeas and any toppings of your choice. Leftovers will keep well in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
