Canned chickpeas can achieve the same texture as soaked-overnight-then-cooked chickpeas.
, and, yeah, it's the best hummus I've ever made. And I wish I were the type of person who could foresee a hummus craving, soak chickpeas overnight, and then wait around for over an hour to dig into it—but that just ain't me. So I dedicatedThe Experiment
My hypothesis was that you could mimic the smoothness of hummus made with dried, soaked, and cooked chickpeas by taking canned chickpeas and simmering them until the beans were falling apart.
From left: hummus made with dried, soaked, and cooked chickpeas; hummus made with straight-from-the-can chickpeas; and hummus made with canned and simmered chickpeas.I rinsed the canned chickpeas, added them to a pot along with some water, brought it to a boil, and then lowered it to a simmer. After 20 minutes the beans had reached the just-falling-apart texture that the recipe called for.
The textural difference was unbelievable—the chickpeas added straight from the can made for a chunkier hummus, despite being whipped for the same amount of time as the other two. The other two hummus batches were nearly indistinguishable: both incredibly velvety and smooth.For restaurant-style, smooth hummus without advanced planning, canned chickpeas are your friend.
I did it, guys. I hacked the hummus system. For my fellow home cooks with no foresight—this one is dedicated to you.
