Ingredients

4 servings

For the hummus

1 cup dried chickpeas
24 Mantra Organic Chickpea Kabuli Chana Signature SELECT Beans Garbanzo - 16 Oz Eden Organic Garbanzo Beans, 16 oz DeLallo Chickpeas - 14 Oz Nature's Promise Organic Double Steamed Chickpeas
See all
1 tsp baking soda, divided
½ cup tahini, well-stirred
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp ground cumin
¾ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
3–5 tbsp ice water

For serving

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
½ tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
4 pita breads, warmed
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the dried chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with at least 3 inches of cold water. Stir in 1/2 tsp of the baking soda and soak at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight, until the chickpeas have roughly doubled in size.
2
Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. Transfer them to a large saucepan, add the remaining 1/2 tsp baking soda, and cover with fresh cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming any foam that rises to the surface, then reduce the heat to a steady simmer. Cook uncovered for 60–90 minutes, until the chickpeas are very soft — they should crush easily between two fingers with no resistance at the center.
