This delicious [[Dip|dip]] is simple to make and extremely economical if made with [[Dried|dried]] [[Chickpeas|chickpeas]].

The recipe given is for 125 g (4 oz) of [[Chickpeas|chickpeas]], though if you are making it, it's probably better to multiply the quantities and make more then [[Freeze|freeze]] the excess as it freezes really well.
The amount of [[Garlic|garlic]] that you add is personal taste. I use much more normally.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 125 g (4 oz) [[Dried|dried]] [[Chickpeas|chickpeas]] or 1 large can of chickpeas [about 400g of cooked chickpeas] and omit the soaking stage.
| [[Zest]] and [[Juice|juice]] of 1 [[Lemon|lemon]]
| 2 tablespoons light [[Tahini|tahini]]
| 2 Cloves [[Garlic|garlic]], peeled
| 120 ml (4 fl oz) [[Olive oil|olive oil]]
| [[Sea Salt|sea salt]] to taste
}}

===[[Mise en place]]===
* Soak the [[Dried|dried]] [[Chickpeas|chickpeas]] for 24 hours in cold water, refreshing a few times if you can.
===Method===
{{RecipeMethod
| ''If using canned [[chick peas]], just drain and rinse them with fresh water a few times and go directly to Adding them to the food processor step.''
| Drain and rinse the soaked [[Chickpeas|chickpeas]].
| Add to a large pan, cover with water. '''Do not add any [[Salt|salt]]''', otherwise the peas will not absorb the water properly. Bring to the [[Boil|boil]] and [[Simmer|simmer]] for 1 hour or until softened. They may take a little longer depending on size and age. A pinch of [[baking soda]] (bicarbonate of soda) added to the cooking water will shorten the cooking time.
| Drain, rinse and allow to cool.
| Add to a [[Food processor|food processor]] with everything but the [[Olive oil|olive oil]]. Blend to a paste, then as if making [[Mayonnaise|mayonnaise]], gradually drizzle in the [[Olive|olive]] [[Oil|oil]] with the motor running.
| Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can always add extra [[Garlic|garlic]] if needed.
| Adjust the consistency by adding more oil if too thick or a handful of breadcrumbs if it is too liquid.

===Serving suggestions===
Serve with [[Crispbread|crispbread]] or [[Pittas|pittas]].
===Variations===
Omit the [[Lemon juice|lemon juice]], [[Zest|zest]] and [[Salt|salt]]. Instead, add the rind of a quarter of a [[Preserved lemon|preserved lemon]] plus 2 tablespoons of the [[Preserved lemon juice|preserved lemon juice]]. [[Preserved lemon hummus|Bulk recipe here!]].

You can also cook the chickpeas in a pressure cooker - [[Chickpeas#How_to_cook_chickpeas_in_a_pressure_cooker|details here]]
===Variations===
Any tinned beans or pulses work well in this recipe. I've just made a lovely batch using a mixture of [[cannellini beans]] & [[chick peas]].
