Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup dried chickpeas
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 cups oregano leaves washed, removed from stems
  • 2 cups parsley leaves washed, removed from stems
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 dash Salt use herbal salt for added taste
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Wash and rinse the dried chickpeas, removing and discarding any broken ones.
  • Place chickpeas, water, and baking soda in a large stockpot with a lid. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Leave the lid slightly askew or the water boils over.
  • Boil for 30 minutes, carefully tasting and testing the consistency of the chickpeas. They should be mushy.
  • When the chickpeas are nice and smushy, drain them in a colander under cool running water.
  • Add chickpeas, herbs, and garlic to a food processor. You can also use a blender as I did to make the recipe shown. Process until it is smooth.
  • Drizzle in the lemon juice and olive oil, processing until smooth. Add salt to taste.
  • Serve on crackers or with vegetable sticks. Refrigerate the unused portion.
