I wish I could take credit for this hummus recipe but credit must be given where credit is due: My former recipe developer, Jess Franks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jess worked for me for many years helping to test recipes, kitchen prep for shoot days and occasionally step in as my therapist. Jess worked as a private chef and was trained in America’s Test Kitchen<\/a> so naturally her recipes are VERY good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One time I was over at her house (not working!) and she served me the best hummus recipe ever. Truly. It was better than store-bought! I knew then that we had to highlight her skills and show off her famous hummus recipe. So thank Jess for this 5-star homemade hummus using techniques that only a pro would know. Trust me – you’ll want to make this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes This Hummus So Good?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The biggest thing that makes this hummus stand out is the texture. It is the creamiest, smoothest hummus you will ever try. To achieve this velvety texture there are two techniques required:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Cook the chickpeas<\/strong> – even though we’re already using canned chickpeas, you’re going to want to cook them even more.\u00a0Cooking the chickpeas softens them, which will make the hummus creamier. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Remove the outer skins from the chickpeas<\/strong>– To achieve a super creamy hummus you’ll want to remove the outer skins. You can do this individually but this usually takes a long time. Jess implements a technique from Cook’s Illustrated<\/a> where you cook the chickpeas with baking soda. The baking soda will help to remove the outer skins from the chickpeas so you’re not having to individually remove skins. Full instructions below.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
