| How do you mash up your chickpeas so that it gets smooth? I always get some hard pieces. |

Garbanzos are tricky.
From another website:
Before cooking,
soak chickpeas for 12 hours,
then pressure-cook for 20 to 25 minutes,
or boil them for 2 1/2 hours.
Chickpeas nearly triple in size after soaking and cooking.

Ok I'm doing basicaly the same thing while preparing them.
Then I use a food processor to mash all up.
And it gets smooth eventually but there are still small bits that are hard.
In restaurants they get it very smooth without hard bits that's why I'm asking.
Or do I have to cook it after mashing up? |

glad to know you make your very own hommus at home. to be honest, i took a gander at the ingredients list on the back of a canister of hommus at my grocery store and simply became dis-interested. all the neat flavors, but weird ingredients kinda made me look the other way. however, at-home-hommus is definately the way to go. regarding your question, i believe it has all to do with the refining quality of your machine/device. restaurants have the best. what are you currently using to grind & smooth to make your hommus? comments are welcome.

Well... I used a cheap kitchen unit by BrAun or Black and Decker I can't remember cause I don't have it anymore...
Did you try preparing hommus at home?
Happy NEW YEAR!

On the radio this morning, it said that Marks & Spencer are recalling all their hummous because they've found traces of salmonella in it.  How the heck did they manage that? Must be made in the same factory as something with raw egg or chicken, and someone didn't wash their hands...
I like lumpy hummous, but I can never cook the chickpeas properly - they just boil dry and burn  or I don't cook them enough and they're too hard. |
