Hummus Recipe
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed
½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon table salt
¼ teaspoon ground cumin, plus extra for garnish
½ cup tahini, stirred well
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Combine chickpeas, baking soda, and 6 cups water in a saucepan, bring to boil, then simmer until chickpeas are soft and skins float, 20-25 minutes. Mince garlic, measure 1 tbsp, and mix with lemon juice and salt; let sit 10 mins, strain to extract liquid. Drain chickpeas, discard skins, and process with garlic-lemon mixture, water, cumin, and chickpeas until smooth. Add tahini and oil, process until creamy, season with salt and lemon. Serve topped with parsley, reserved chickpeas, and extra cumin and oil.
