📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place the chickpeas in a medium saucepan; sprinkle with baking soda. Fill the pot so the chickpeas are covered by several inches of water. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until the chickpeas are practically mushy and the skins are popping off; about ⏱️ 15-20 minutes.
2
Once cooked, rinse and drain the chickpeas in a fine mesh strainer. Pick out the skins that have popped off as best you can, but don’t worry if you can’t get all of them.
3
Add all the ingredients to your food processor EXCEPT chickpeas and ice cubes and puree for ⏱️ 2 minutes.
