Notes

Recipe Tips:

Use Warm Chickpeas for a Smoother Texture. Warming the canned chickpeas before blending (microwaving for 30 seconds or briefly simmering in water) helps break them down more easily, resulting in a silkier hummus.

Adjust the Thickness to Your Preference. If your hummus is too thick, slowly add the reserved chickpea liquid, a teaspoon at a time, until you achieve your desired consistency.

Let It Rest for Better Flavor. Hummus tastes best after it sits for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. This allows the flavors to meld, making it even more delicious.

NOTE: Cilantro is sold in bunches of several stems with side branches. If you pull out one stem with all the side branches, then pinch off one of the side branches with 3 or 4 leaves, that's a sprig. If you find the flavor isn't strong enough, add more sprigs until it's at the level you like.
