Notes
- Simmer chickpeas with ½ teaspoon baking soda until very soft to achieve a smoother hummus without peeling skins.
- Choose high-quality tahini to avoid bitterness; Soom brand is recommended.
- Let the hummus chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
