Summary
I'm obsessed with Israeli hummus, specifically Abu Hassan's hummus, which I discovered during my trip to Israel. The best & smoothest hummus I have ever had was in Jaffa and I learned how to replicate it at home with a special ingredient: baking soda.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried chickpeas
- 2 tsp baking soda, divided
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp sea salt, divided
- 1 bay leaf
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1/2 onion
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- ⅔ cup tahini
- ½ tspcumin
- 1 cup reserved chickpea cooking liquid (this amount is an estimate)
- extra virgin olive oil, parsley, chopped kalamata olives, for garnish
