Rinse and strain chickpeas
Using a saucepan, add chickpeas, baking soda and enough water to cover by 2 inches
Boil for 20 minutes
While your chickpeas are boiling, add your lemon juice, minced garlic and salt to your blender or food processor and let it sit while the chickpeas boil. This neutralizes the garlic a bit.
When your chickpeas are done, rinse and strain again and set aside
Add tahini to blender and pulse a few times.
This is the most crucial step for getting super creamy hummus - While running your blender with your lemon + garlic + tahini + salt combo, slowly add in your ice water. The texture should be thick and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a little more ice water.
Now you’re ready to toss your chickpeas in and blend for 1 minute, scraping sides down as you go.
*If it’s not creamy enough, you can always add more ice water. But it really has to be ice cold!
