• baking soda - 1.5 tsp
• cumin - 1-2 tsp.
• juice of 1 lemon
• olive oil - 4 tbsp
• salt - 1 tsp.
• tahini - 3 tbsp.
• garlic - 3-4 cloves.
• smoked paprika - 1.5 tsp.

Method of preparation:

1. Add 1 tsp. of baking soda to chickpeas and cover with cold water. Refrigerate overnight. After that, rinse it several times, add baking soda (0.5 tsp) again, cover with water and cook over medium heat until tender (1-1.5 hours). Drain the rest of the water in which the chickpeas were cooked into a separate plate.

2. Add olive oil, salt, cumin, garlic, smoked paprika, and lemon juice to the cooked chickpeas. Use a blender to grind all the ingredients.

If the hummus is too thick, add the remaining chickpea water.
