Notes!

For restaurant smooth and creamy texture I recommend hitting it with an immersion blender at the end. You can also soak your chickpeas in hot water for about 20 minutes for a more smooth texture.

Hummus is another dish that is pretty neutral in flavor and therefore super customizable. Common flavor additions include roasted red peppers (add with the chickpeas), dill (add with the tahini), and paprika (add at the end), but definitely feel free to add any flavors you think will go well, and look up hummus recipes for delicious customization options.
