I made this! Super tasty. I used the goya brand i actually didn’t skin it. I used the whole pea as it is. I put a little more garlic because i like it garlicky and i also add it paprika which gives it a super nice kick. For the water i used the same water that comes in the can, i feel that makes the flavor rich it.

For more thick hummus I skip the part where you skin the chick peas. Also double the garlic for more flavor, and add some crushed red pepper and parsley on top.

I made the classic hummus. I recommend using a little bit more of the seasonings to cover up the faint garbanzo bean taste. Otherwise, it was yummy!

Added extra garlic, extra lemon juice, and extra sesame oil. Topped with sesame seeds and olive oil. Didn’t peel because I don’t mind the texture, turned out great!
