Chickpeas Hummus Preparation

To have a great hummus the best thing is to use the dried chickpeas and put them in soak the day before, cook them quietly on low heat for the time necessary to have them soft and finally pass them under the cold water to detach all the cuticle of the chickpeas and then them. If you do not have a way, you can use a pack of good pre-cooked chickpeas (those in glass jar are preferable).
After cooking, simply blend the chickpeas with the hot water (added as long as you get the desired consistency) and gradually add all the other ingredients.
Once served, sprinkle the hummus with a sprinkling of chopped parsley or, alternatively, with chili pepper/paprika/mix of oriental spices/pine nuts/walnuts.
