Chef's tips

For the smoothest texture, peel the chickpea skins off after cooking, or simmer canned chickpeas briefly with baking soda.

Storage

Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days.

Reheating

Serve chilled or at room temperature; not reheated.

Common mistakes to avoid

•Adding tahini and lemon before the garlic is fully blended, leaving large chunks.
•Skipping the ice water, which stops the hummus from becoming light and fluffy.
