- Soak the chickpeas overnight. 2. The next morning, boil the swollen chickpeas until tender, adding a little baking soda (about 35–40 minutes). 3. Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds in a skillet. About 1–2 minutes is enough, just for a light golden color. The skillet must be completely dry, with no oil. 4. Blend the toasted sesame seeds, drizzling in the olive oil as you go. This gives you tahini paste. 5. Now combine the cooked chickpeas with the tahini, add the lemon juice, cumin, garlic, a couple of sprigs of cilantro, salt, and pepper, and blend. Watch the consistency, thinning it to where you want with the chickpea cooking water. 6. Transfer the finished hummus to a storage container and let it rest for an hour or two. 7. Dust the top with paprika. Treat your guests and dig in yourself — enjoy!
