Add all ingredients except the water to a food processor. Blend for ~5 minutes or more.
Test the texture/consistency. I like mine less thick so I added ¼ cup extra water and blended it for another minute. If you like yours very thick, you can serve it without adding the extra water.
Top with your favorite toppings. I used artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, sprouted lentils, kalamata olives, sesame seeds, flax seeds, and fresh black pepper.
Notes
*You can use canned chick peas, but I notice the texture does not come out as smooth and creamy as it does when you steam your peas fresh.Nutritional information is only an estimate. The accuracy of the nutritional information for any recipe on this site is not guaranteed.
