🍳 Steps
1. Preparing Chickpeas
Open a can of chickpeas, drain and rinse them thoroughly.
Canned Chickpeas 1can
Place the rinsed chickpeas into a small pot. This step is optional; if skipped, the hummus will be slightly less creamy.
Cover the chickpeas with 2 inches of water and simmer for 20 minutes until the skins start floating to the top.

Scoop off the floating skins from the top of the pot and discard them.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas again after simmering.
2. Blending the Hummus
Add the drained chickpeas to the bowl of a food processor.

Let the food processor run for about 5 minutes to achieve a creamy consistency.
