Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

1. 01

   If using dried chickpeas, dump them in a large bowl and add 3/4 teaspoon baking soda.

2. 02

   Add enough cold water to cover and let soak overnight at room temperature.

3. 03

   Drain the chickpeas and transfer them to a large pot with enough water to cover.

4. 04

   Add 1 teaspoon baking soda and bring to a boil. Continue to boil until the chickpeas are tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Skim off any floating shells.

5. 05

   Drain the chickpeas, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid, and let the chickpeas cool completely. If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse the chickpeas and commence with step 2.

6. 06

   Combine the chickpeas, garlic, reserved liquid if using dried chickpeas or 1 cup cold water if using canned chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, cumin, and pepper in a food processor and purée until smooth and creamy. Plop the hummus on a plate or in a shallow bowl. If desired, cover and refrigerate the hummus for an hour or so. (Just don’t stash the fresh hummus in the fridge for more than a day or so.)

7. 07

   When ready to serve, drizzle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the paprika.
