Cooking Instructions
- 1
Soak the chickpeas in a large amount of water overnight, until they've roughly doubled in size.
- 2
Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
- 3
Place them in a pot, add the baking soda, and fill the pot with water, up to around the 2.5L mark (about 5 cm above the chickpeas).
- 4
Turn the heat up to high. When they start foaming, stir the foam back into the pot and turn the heat to medium.
- 5
Cook for half an hour, then take out a big scoop of chickpeas and set aside to use as garnish later.
- 6
Cover the pot and cook for another 30-60 minutes. Let any extra water evaporate, until you get a kind of soft gooey mush.
- 7
Spread it out on a plate and let it cool down completely.
- 8
Once cooled, add the chickpeas to a foodprocessor, and process for about 3-4 minutes.
- 9
Add 70 g of ice and process until it changes to a slightly lighter colour.
- 10
Add the tahini and blend together. Then add the lemon juice and salt and blend together again.
- 11
The hummus is now done, but you can add another 30 g of ice if it's a little too thick.
- 12
Spread on a plate to serve, with toppings of your choice.

Hummus Hummus
This recipe was modified from a restaurant trick to get ultra smooth hummus by processing the tahini first with sodium citrate and ice water. The sodium citrate helps retain the emulsion between the tahini oil and lemon juice. Instead of using soaked and cooked chickpeas, ive modified the recipe to use 1 large can of precooked chickpeas for convenience, but they require further cooking to soften. I add a healthy dose of lemon because i like the tartness and I think rosemary really compliments the earthy flavors of the chickpeas, but this could be left out or substituted for other herbs and flavors.

Hummus Hummus
This is a modification of J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's Serious Eats recipe for hummus for our taste. It requires the use of a powerful blender to achieve the creamy texture of beans.The main modification is with the tahini recipe. We wanted more garlic and acidity in less tahini paste, and want a slightly larger kick of cumin. Yue Logy -
