    Do I need to peel the chickpeas for hummus?

    I've made hummus both ways. I think when I do remove most of the chickpeas peel that the hummus is smoother. I don't think removing the skins changes the flavor at all.

    When I do remove the skins I wait until after I've boiled the chickpeas. Most of the skins will fall off in the water and can be skimmed off the top. After draining the chickpeas I quickly pick out any large skins in the strainer and then move on to make the hummus.

    Is it better to make hummus in a food processor or a blender?

    Both will work, but I prefer using my food processor for making hummus. I think the hummus turns out smoother. I also think making the hummus is quicker in a food processor. But, if all you've got is a blender it will work. You may want to add the cold water sooner if you need more liquid for your blender to work.

    What do you serve hummus with?

    I like to serve hummus with fresh vegetables and with gluten free crackers. My favorite gluten free crackers are: Good Thins Rice Crackers, Nut-Thins Almond Crackers, Simple Mills Almond Flour Crackers and Crunchmaster Multi Grain Crackers.
