In reply to Peg. Hi Peg, yes you should cook the canned chickpeas with baking soda. The overcooked beans yields creamy hummus.

In reply to Annette. Hi Annette, did you drain the chickpeas well after boiling them?

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out very thin and runny for me. The flavour is delicious and it was very smooth, but it was more like a sauce. I wonder if more than 1 can of chickpeas is necessary? After boiling them for 20 min, there was a very scant amount left.

In reply to Cookie and Kate. I think the writer is asking do you need to cook the canned chickpeas with baking soda. I’m confused as well: ½ teaspoon baking soda (if you’re using canned chickpeas)

This recipe needs a lot more of everything, especially garlic.

I am overly excited right now after trying this recipe! I’ve been making hummus all my life. I’m up Lebanese descent and I’m 72 years old my mother always made it but this is by far the best recipe I’ve ever had mine was never real smooth and creamy and I’ve tried a little tricks but this did it all I’m so happy about it! Thank you Kate!
