CREAMY HOMEMADE HUMMUS
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, cover the chickpeas with enough water to reach 2 inches above the height of the chickpeas and soak them for 12 hours.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas and place them in a large saucepan with the baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cover them with 1 to 2 inches water and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer until the chickpeas are very soft, about 2 hours. Drain them, let them cool slightly and then transfer to a food processor.
- Add the lemon juice, tahini, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the garlic, if using, and blend until very smooth, about 1 minute. With the motor running, drizzle in the water and continue to blend for 1 more minute. Taste and add additional salt to taste. Transfer to a serving dish and top with a drizzle of olive oil and some chopped onion and parsley. Serve with fresh pita and onion wedges and enjoy.
- Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge with a thin layer of olive oil coating the top.

HUMMUS... SMOOTH & CREAMY
Forget those tubs in the supermarket, they never taste like the real thing. I always use Ziyad brand products for a more authentic middle eastern taste.The addition of the "tetbeleh" is how it is mainly made in the Jordan. In the mid east people enjoy this as a breakfast side, typically someone makes a run to the nearby falafel restaurant and brings back falafel, hommus and foul(fave beans) and serve with a side of green olives, white cheese and tea using our pita bread as our spoons, and there you have a middle eastern breakfast. In the U.S. it is served as a side dish for the most part, but in the middle east it is more a breakfast dish.

Steps:
- Soften the chickpeas ~ place the chickpeas (with their juice) and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Let the simmered chickpeas stand until cool enough to handle. Remove and discard any loose skins. Then gently pinch each chickpea to slip off the skin. Or, place the chickpeas in a wire mesh strainer and rub gently against the strainer sides to remove skins.
- Place tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and kosher salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and process for 30 to 45 seconds more. With the food processor running, stream in 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Process for about 1 minute to incorporate fully.
- Drain chickpeas, reserving the liquid. Add half of the chickpeas and 1/4 cup reserved liquid to the food processor. Process for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl once. Add remaining chickpeas and process for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until smooth.
- Add an additional 2 to 3 tablespoons reserved chickpea liquid or water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. Process for 20 to 30 seconds after each addition.
- Place hummus in a serving bowl. Drizzle the top with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with paprika to garnish. Serve with pita bread, pita chips, crackers, or assorted vegetables for dipping.
- Store the hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
