Instructions

1. Soak the dried chickpeas in plenty of water overnight (about 12 hours is also fine), keeping them out of the fridge.
2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Skip the soaking if using canned chickpeas, but keep their liquid (aquafaba).
3. Put the chickpeas in a pot with fresh water and the baking soda. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours until tender. Keep about 1 cup of the cooking water.
4. Rub off the skins of the cooked chickpeas, ideally at least 70% of them, by agitating them in clean water until the skins float off.
5. Blend the chickpeas with the other blend ingredients in a powerful food processor or high-speed blender.
6. While blending, slowly drizzle in the olive oil, then the 1/4 cup of aquafaba. The stream should be thinner than a pencil. Blend until smooth.
7. Season to taste with cumin, sea salt, white pepper and citric acid or lemon juice. If too thick, add aquafaba by spoonfuls while blending; if too watery, add olive oil or tahini by spoonfuls.
8. Spread into a serving bowl, make a circular groove in the top with the back of a spoon, and garnish with olive oil and smoked paprika, sumac or parsley if you like.
