Sun dried tomato hummus
Prep Time
10 mins
To make perfectly smooth hummus, you need to remove the chickpea hulls. You can do so by boiling the chickpeas 3 minutes in water with 1/2 t baking soda. Pour off the water then add cold water over the top. Rub the chickpeas vigorously and skim the released hulls off the top. You can also make perfectly yummy hummus without removing the hulls, but the texture will be a bit coarser.
