Notes
To store: Place leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for 4-5 days. Alternatively, freeze in a freezer-safe container for 3-4 months. If the texture changes at all upon thawing, you can re-blend the hummus for a short while. Add a little extra water to bring it back to the correct consistency if needed.
To prep the chickpeas: Follow this process to cook dried chickpeas. The basic steps include soaking them for 8 hours, straining, rinsing, and then boiling until tender (35-40 minutes).
