     Nutrition Facts: Calories 191, Fat 9g, Cholesterol 0, Sodium 101mg, Carbs 19g, Protein 7g

    Ingredients

    – 1 Cup of dried chickpeas, picked over
    – 1/2 Teaspoon baking soda
    – 1/2 Cup tahini
    – 2 Cloves garlic, minced
    – 1/4 Cup lemon juice
    Salt

    Directions

    1. Cover the chickpeas in two inches of water, mix in the backing soda and let sit over night before rinsing well.
    2. Place the chickpeas in a pot, cover with 2 inches water and bring to a boil
    3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chickpeas are tender enough that you can easily pinch off their skins, about 1 1/2 – 2 hours before draining, reserve 1 cup of the liquid.
    4. Bring the cup of reserved liquid to a boil and remove any scum that may have formed on the surface
    5. Puree everything in a food processor adding as much of the reserved cooking liquid as needed to get the right consistency in the hummus.

    Option: Remove the skins from the chickpeas for a smoother hummus.
    Option: Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil for a smoother hummus.
    Option: Serve topped with chickpeas, olive oil, chopped parsley, paprika and cumin for taste.
    Tip: Look for tahini with a lighter colour that has a sweet after taste as tahini darkens with age and becomes bitter.
