Instructions
- Drain the canned/jarred chickpeas, and rinse them thoroughly. Remove the skins by rubbing the chickpeas between your fingers, this step is essential for creating the smoothest, most velvety hummus.
- Remove the skin and stone from the avocados and the skin from the garlic cloves.
- Blend the Ingredients in a food processor, combine the peeled chickpeas, ripe avocados, garlic cloves, tahini, ground cumin, half the water and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
- Add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Blend until the hummus is silky and creamy.
