Chickpea Hummus | Tips to Make Hummus Extra Creamy

Serious Eats / J. Kenji López-Alt

There are a handful of staples that everyone should have in their pantry year-round and chickpeas top the list. Cheap healthy and just plain delicious. I like to have both canned and dried varieties on hand: the former for when I need to throw together a quick dinner and the latter for when I have more time (or really more foresight) to make the best meal possible. Chickpeas lend themselves to so many uses: you can throw them into a filling salad simmer them in a stew blend them into hummus and more. From creamy butternut squash and chickpea dip to chickpea salad with bacon and cotija to pressure-cooked chicken masala keep reading for 20 of our favorite chickpea recipes.

A note about canned chickpeas: While these recipes focus on the beans themselves you don’t want to waste the liquid they’re packed in. Aquafaba is known for being a high-protein food and can be used as an egg substitute in mayonnaise pancakes (regular or oatmeal) and more.
