Yeah Hummus is awesome... and usually a homemade one is way better (unless you live in Israel ;) ).

Regarding the cooking, you are right...you need to get a very fresh chickpeas to be able to finish cooking it in an hours or so, if the seed been laying around for a while (a harvest from a previous year) then it often takes 2 or even 3 hours to get fully cooked.
Adding baking soda helps to shorten the process though...without much effect on the taste.

Awesome you going to try the recipe, you are not going to regret ;)

Let me know how it worked out...and send some photos :)

Thanks for taking the time to comment! I appreciate it.
