Hummus out of a can works, but you get a much better result if you use dried chickpeas and soak them the night before. This is the base I use for the mango chutney coconut hummus.

Ingredients

  • 400 g (cooked) chickpeas, from dried
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 3 tbsp aquafaba (the chickpea cooking water)
  • 10 cracks salt and pepper

Method

  1. 1

    Soak the dried chickpeas the night before, around 12 hours in cold water.

  2. 2

    Throw them in a pan with the same water and a teaspoon of baking soda, and cook them for 45 minutes to an hour.

  3. 3

    Drain the chickpeas in a mesh strainer, keep some of that magical aquafaba.

  4. 4

    Grab your food processor and add the 400 g of chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, salt and pepper, cumin, chili powder and the aquafaba. Blend.
