Ask me why I enjoy having a flat mate from a different country and top of the list will be the food experience. My current flat mate is a Nicaraguan and Ooooooh have we been cooking 🙌🏻🙌🏻. My life can never be boring!

Steps

15 minutes

1

Drain the chickpeas and reserve 1/3 cup of the brine for later. Remove skin from peas by gently rubbing them between your fingers
2

To get finely mashed garlic and avoid clogging your blender, blend hummus in three batches as follows: Add 1/3 cup of chickpeas to a blender, followed by the rest of the ingredients. Purée the mixture until completely smooth (verify with a spatula or your fingers)
3

Split the remaining chickpeas in half and add one half to the contents in the blender. Blend until smooth. Add final half of chickpeas and blend
4

Check for consistency and blend in the reserved brine in small additions at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Adjust seasoning as needed (even more lemon if needed)
5

Serve and enjoy!
