  • Turn the blender on high and blend for a couple of seconds. In a high powered blender, remove the cap and use the tamper to move the chickpeas toward the blade for a creamier hummus. Add the chickpea liquid and a little at a time depending on how soft and smooth you like it.
  • Serve on a plate or in a small bowl and garnish with extra virgin olive oil, sumac or paprika and fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

Note 1.  Add more tahini only if you accidently add too much liquid it will help make it thicker. 
Note 2. You do not have to boil canned chickpeas you can also stand them in water with bicarb, rinse then use as per the recipe but if you want a more smooth texture then follow this recipe.
