"Hummus, dear reader, is a science." -- Noor, from Shelf Love.

I am making hummus today, using chickpeas leftover from cooking chole for xmas, that I threw into the freezer.

I don't need a recipe for making hummus - like many of you I have muscle memory from making it so many times.

But #Ottolenghi's #ShelfLove has some great hits for making great hummus. Like:

Add some cumin when cooking the chickpeas. Save the chickpea cooking water for stocks, soups, broths. Use warm chickpeas and add 2 ice cubes when blending the hummus for great aeration. Don't add olive oil to the hummus (tahini has enough oil in it), but drizzle it over the top.

Anyone else making #hummus today?

EDIT: Here is the recipe, plus hints: https://food52.com/recipes/87555-hummus-recipe-from-ottolenghi-test-kitchen
