In this post I share with you how to make the perfect creamy chickpea spread. Making hummus from scratch is easier than you think and the result is so much tastier than the store bought versions. By boiling the chickpeas before blending, you end up with an extra smooth texture. Serve it with your favourite bread, vegetables, or use it as a base for a wrap or even a steamed potato.
