  • Test the texture/consistency. If you like yours less thick, add chickpea cooking water and blend again. If you like yours very thick, just leave it as is.

  • 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.
