• The first step to making Hummus is soaking the chickpeas. Canned Chickpeas are to be avoided at all costs. You are sacrificing the flavor and integrity of Hummus by using canned chickpeas Soak the Chick-peas overnight. The level of water should exceed  3-4 inches above the Chickpea level.
• The next day drains the water and put the Chick-peas in a large boiling pot.  Cover the Chick-peas in freshwater. Add baking soda to the pot and boil the Chick-peas. For every Kilo (2.4lbs)  of Chick-peas add 10 grams of baking soda.
• Once the Chick-peas boil you will notice a white foam, do not discard this foam as this is where most of the flavor comes from. Keep in stirring the Chick-peas.  After about an hour the Chick-peas should be done for this recipe. If you want to make Traditional Hummus keep boiling the Chick-peas further.  We will have another recipe for the real deal Jerusalem Street Hummus.
