Notes

RECIPE UPDATE: March 2020
The last time I made this hummus I wanted a thinner and smoother paste to spread lightly onto a plate.
To achieve this I followed the recipe exactly and then checked the consistency in the ™ bowl (it can change a little each time you make it depending on how well the chick peas are drained, or if you peeled the chickpeas). Based on that assessment I added 50g to 100g of Aquafaba (chick pea liquid from the tin) and blended the mix 10 seconds / speed 9, scrape around ™ bowl and repeat 10 seconds / speed 9.
The result was fabulous and just what I was looking, without any reduction in flavour as I didn't add water. So this is another option for you too depending on how you wish to use the hummus.
