Instructions
Put chickpeas in a medium saucepan with baking soda and garlic and cover with water.
Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Strain the chickpeas and garlic and transfer to a high speed blender.
Add the lemon juice, starting with the juice of one lemon.
Add tahini, one teaspoon of salt, the cumin, and the olive oil.
Blend until smooth.
When smooth, drizzle in the ice water until it's the consistency you want.
Taste and add more lemon juice and salt if desired. I always use 2 teaspoons of salt and the juice of 2 lemons.
Spread onto a shallow bowl and top with a drizzle of olive oil, spices, herbs, etc. Use your imagination!
Serve with pita, veggies, chips, or crackers. Enjoy!
