Notes
- To Prep-Ahead: The chickpeas may be cooked in advance, up to 2-3 days ahead.
- To Store: The hummus may be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days after the garbanzo beans are cooked/uncanned.
- To Freeze: Leftovers may be stored in a freezer-safe, airtight container for up to 3-4 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and stir well before serving, draining off any excess liquid. Be aware that freezing and thawing may affect the texture of the hummus, and call for re-emulsifying in the blender.
