best creamiest hummus
2 cups (1 pound) chick peas
7 cups of water
1 teaspoon real salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Place the chickpeas, water, salt and baking soda in a large slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 8 to 9 hours (or overnight) until tender. Drain, cool and move all of them to a new container and store in the fridge until you are ready to use them. If you’d like, you can just eat them plain here or add them to your favorite salad or recipe. You’ll probably want to salt them a bit. You’ll have to try one and taste the difference for yourself! They’re so much more creamy in texture…making the really creamy hummus!

Ingredients
2 cups chickpeas (as prepared above)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
5 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
¼ cup water

          • -

Place the chickpeas, garlic, and kosher salt in the bowl of your food processor. Process for 15 to 20 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl, and process for another 15 to 20 seconds.
Add the lemon juice and water. Continue to process for another 20 seconds. Now add the tahini. Process for 20 seconds, then scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
To serve, transfer the hummus to a bowl and drizzle with more olive oil and top with a sprinkle of paprika.

buffalo flavor hummus

1 can (15-ounces or 440 g) or 1 1/2 cups (246 g) cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt (I used 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt – AL)
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons (30 g) tahini
1 tablespoon (15 ml) hot sauce (I used Frank’s Hot Sauce – AL)
1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
1/2 cup (90 g) jarred roasted red pepper
2 tablespoons (28 ml) olive oil or liquid from can (I used water- AL)
Cayenne pepper, to taste, for serving

1. Combine all the ingredients except the oil (or water) and cayenne. in a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine and then scrape down the sides. With the motor running, stream in the oil (or water) through the feed tube.

2. Continue to run the motor until you reach the desired consistency; I like to let it for for 5 minutes to get it really smooth.

3. Add more salt, lemon juice, or hot sauce, to taste, and then sprinkle with cayenne pepper before serving. Angela’s note: I also sprinkled it with cumin, smoked paprika, and more hot sauce.

– Combine the chickpeas, garlic cloves, and chives in a food processor and pulse until roughly mixed. Add the spinach, lemon zest and squeeze in the lemon juice and puree until smooth. With the processor running, drizzle in the olive oil. Taste and season to your liking with salt and pepper. Garnish with some crunchy salt, some herbs or celery leaves or some chopped chives. The lemon in the recipe will help the hummus keep a vibrant color for a day or two if you store it in an air-tight container.
