Notes

*I usually wind up adding anywhere from ¼ - ½ cup water

There are a ton of different hummus flavors that can be made from this recipe. See suggestions above.

Yes, you can use canned chickpeas to make this dish (but it won't be as good!)

If you prefer not to use an immersion blender, transfer cooked beans to a food processor instead.
