1️⃣ Cook the Chickpeas: Place the chickpeas in a medium saucepan and add the baking soda. Cover the chickpeas with several inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for about 20 minutes until the chickpeas are bloated and very soft. Drain and rinse with cool water for about 30 seconds. Set aside. 🌊🍲

2️⃣ Blend Lemon, Garlic, and Salt: In a food processor, combine the lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Process until the garlic is finely chopped, then let it rest for about 10 minutes to mellow the garlic flavor. 🧄🍋

3️⃣ Add Tahini: Add the tahini to the food processor and blend until thick and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides and bottom as necessary. 🍂

4️⃣ Incorporate Ice Water: While the processor is running, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of ice water. Blend until ultra smooth and creamy, adding more ice water as needed. ❄️🧊

5️⃣ Add Chickpeas and Olive Oil: Add the cumin and the cooked chickpeas to the processor. While blending, drizzle in the olive oil. Blend for about 2 minutes until super smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. 🧄🌿

6️⃣ Adjust and Serve: Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or lemon juice as needed. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, creating swooshes on top with a spoon. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, sumac, paprika, and parsley. Enjoy! 🌿🍲
