Hummus

1. All set? 

2. Add chickpeas to a large pot and cover with water. Let sit overnight until doubled in size. (Tip: If using jarred or canned chickpeas, skip this step, and drain and rinse chickpeas). 

3. Drain chickpeas, then return to the pot. Cover with fresh water and stir in baking soda, salt, and cumin. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until chickpeas are very soft. About 25 - 45 min. Skim off any foam or skins that rise to the surface. (Tip: For jarred or canned chickpeas, cook for 10 min.)
