Any advice on how best to prepare dried chick peas for humus? I’d guess a long soak plus a good boil, as is normal, just haven’t tried for humus before.
Cook the bejesus out of them. When I make hummus I pressure cook them for 90 mins. Others suggest adding some baking soda to dissolve the skins, and others peel the cooked chickpeas by rubbing them. The goal is to remove the skin somehow for optimal smoothness.
I will give you my mother's Hummus recipe because it's so easy to make and CLEARS any store bought:
One can Goya chick peas drain half of the water 2 small cloves garlic 3 to 4 tablespoons tahini 1/2 a lemon juice
English is not her first language lol
You basically just put all this in a blender until it's smooth!

Thanks!
I have to use dried beans for my hummus, normally cooking them works fine - that is soak for 8 - 12 hours and then boil/simmer until soft.
Cheers!
Yea in my experimentation, generally a long soak is worth it. Even going out to 24hrs can make a difference I think.
That I'm not sure of :( I usually buy cans from the store since it's $1 per
