- Peeled or not, a high-speed food processor will always deliver the best results in terms of texture.
- For this recipe, you can use canned or cooked, dried chickpeas.
- Don't go overboard with garlic and cumin as those flavors can be overpowering.
- This recipe is the base of endless variations, so feel free to add olives, red bell pepper or harissa.
