Required ingredients, substitutes and hints

- Chickpeas: The basis for homemade hummus are chickpeas, also known as chickpeas. I always use cans for convenience.
- Mustard: You can use old-style mustard to add some texture to the hummus, or Dijon mustard for a smoother texture.
- Fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice is really important. Don’t skip it!
- Tahini: Use good quality tahini and make sure it’s well stirred.

- Ground cumin: For extra taste!
- Salt: For a better taste, I recommend sea salt or kosher salt.

Peel canned chickpeas two ways
- Place the chickpeas in a large bowl and fill with cold water. Rub the beans gently and vigorously between your hands to loosen the shells. Most skins are floating and you can pick and discard them. Drain the beans, pat dry, and then use your finger to remove the remaining shells.
- Place the chickpeas in a saucepan with water and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the skin starts to loosen. Drain, rinse under cold water and remove the shell of the chickpeas.
