How to make the hummus with FRESH chickpeas?

First you must let the chickpeas soak in water. This is vital for the chickpeas to soften properly. Fill up a bowl with chickpeas and enough water so that the chickpeas are fully submerged underwater and leave to soak for a few hours, or overnight. 

Once soaked, boil the chickpeas for 50 minutes, or until softened.

Drain the chickpeas and, once cooled, add into a blender with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until all ingredients are fully combined. Enjoy!
