So I was making hummus for a dinner party and I like to garnish with a few whole chickpeas on top, a fact I neglected to remember while I blended them all up. So I looked and discovered a bag of hazelnuts in the fridge and I thought to myself one of these things looks just like the other...one of these things is kinda the same ...my dinner guest was so delighted by it she asked if I would make it again for her son's birthday party... this time I added some hazelnuts to the chickpeas in the hummus itself and remembered to hold back a few chickpeas as toppers...success! You can use canned chickpeas, but since I have discovered dried chickpeas I don't think I can go back to canned unless there's a time issue. Also the removing the skins step is admittedly arduous, messy and a pain on the buttocks however it makes an exemplary hummus.
