Instructions

1. If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight in a large bowl of water, as they will swell. The next day, drain and rinse them.
2. Boil the soaked chickpeas in a large pot of fresh water over medium heat. Once it boils, add 1 teaspoon of baking soda and skim off the foam that rises.
3. Cook the chickpeas until very soft, about 20 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water, discarding loose skins. Peeling them is optional.
4. Put the canned or cooked chickpeas in a blender or food processor with the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and a good pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
5. For extra creamy hummus or a grainy texture, add 1 ice cube or a splash of ice-cold water and blend again. You can also add 1-2 tablespoons of aquafaba.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the hummus into a bowl and use the back of a spoon to make a well or swirl on top.
7. Garnish with extra chickpeas, a sprinkle of paprika and a good drizzle of olive oil. Serve.
