Instructions

  1. Completely cover and soak chickpeas overnight in cold water
  2. Drain, transfer to a large pot with the baking soda and stir for 2-3 minutes on medium-low heat. Add 6 cups water and simmer for 35-40 minutes, skimming off any foam or floating skins until they are tender. When you can mash one easily with a spoon they are ready.
  3. Drain and transfer the chickpeas to a food processor. Process until you have a thick paste – about 30 to 45 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides, then add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, sugar and salt. Process for 4 minutes while drizzling in the ice water and sunflower oil. Add more ice water a tablespoon at a time if it is too stiff.
  4. Taste and adjust the salt if necessary
  5. Have the everything bagel seasonings ready and process while pouring them in. Use your discretion for the volume of seasoning. Stop processing after they are integrated, about 10-15 seconds
  6. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes before serving and refrigerate until ready to eat.
  7. Add toppings and pita or chips of your choice
