Hummus from dried chickpeas

This hummus recipe is easy and so tasty! I always used store-bought hummus, until I figured out that it’s insanely easy to make your own. And let’s be honest, it tastes way better than the regular store-bought hummus. Also, this hummus is made with real and healthy ingredients and is completely vegan.

The hummus makes a delicious spread and great dip. You can serve it with pita bread or dip your vegetables, like carrot, in it.

For this hummus recipe I used dried chickpeas like these ones, which I soaked overnight. The next day I boiled them together with 1 tsp of baking soda. This is a trick which makes the skin of the chickpeas really soft and easy removable. You can easily leave the skin on, this saves you around 15 min, but if you prefer to have a really smooth hummus I advise you to take the skin off.

I just love to use dried beans whenever I can, because I often think they are more flavorsome than canned beans.

Well, try it out and let me know your thoughts!
