Instructions
    To make the hummus
  1. 1

    To make your hummus from scratch, start by putting the chickpeas in a pot topped with water. Place on medium to high heat and allow to boil for 30 minutes until the chickpeas become so tender and easily soft to squeeze between two fingers. The skin should be easily removed.

  2. 2

    To remove the skin, rub the chickpeas lightly between your hands, this loosens the skin. Pour cold water in the pot and all the skin should rise to the surface, at this point you can remove them all. Do this process a few times. you don’t need all the skin removed, just some.

  3. 3

    Drain the chickpeas fully and toss the cooked chickpeas in a smoothie blender for the smoothest hummus. Add tahini, cumin, salt, garlic cloves, lemon juice, water and pepper. Puree the chickpeas until there are no pieces or lumps, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the ice and blend for another 3 minutes until everything is fully blended. You will see that the ice instantly brightens the hummus.

  5. 5

    While the blender is running, slowly drizzle extra virgin olive oil in a continuous thin line. This will make your hummus super smooth.

  6. 6

    Place the hummus in the fridge to cool down and serve up with an extra drizzle of olive oil.

    Be as creative as you want when plating up the hummus to make your Hummus Loaded with Shirazi Salad.
