a. The first step is to soak your chickpeas in water overnight for about eight to ten hours. (This is one secret to have creamier hummus versus using canned chickpeas as a short cut.)
b. Second is to boil in a medium sized pot until the chick peas are tender.
c. Next you are going to drain the chick peas in a colander and rinse with cold water.
d. While you are rinsing the peas remove the skins. You can make this easier by adding some baking soda in between your hands. (This is another tip to ensure a smooth consistency.)
e. Now you are going to start combining your ingredients. First add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic. Blend for about 20 seconds.
f. Then you are going to add your chickpeas, Greek yogurt, and salt and pepper. Blend for a good minute.

Now first things first. You need to go to the store for a few ingredients, because I’m sure you don’t just keep okra around for the sake of it. What you will need for the seasoning mix is: 1 tablespoon sweet paprika, 1 tablespoon dry mustard, 2 ½ teaspoons dried sweet basil leaves, 2 teaspoons of salt,

Next, place the first set of germinating peas, dry peas and beads and beads alone in vials 1,2, and 3. Place the second set of germinating peas, dry peas and beads, and glass beads in vials 4,5, and 6. Insert the stoppers in each vial with the proper pipette. Place a washer on each of the pipettes to be used as a weight.
Add meat and vegetables with Creole seasoning, sea salt, Worcestershire sauce, Liquid Smoke and ground chipotle. Stir to combine thoroughly.
First you need to prepare the dough. The dough is made from masa harina, fat, and liquid in this case water. To make it easier for a person such as myself I just go to the store and buy the dough already made. This gives me a job of just preparing the dough more with a bit of water. After you could mix the dough with your clean hands or any other object that mixes.
Support: Lastly, you can add any other flavorings you want like chocolate syrup, but I normally save that for the end result. After everything is in your blender and has room to mix, you will let it mix for about thirty seconds to a minute because you do not want it to end up too watery.

After my first bite, I was hooked, this recipe is a keeper and one that I'd love to play around in the kitchen with. My first thought was to try it with sautéed and melted anchovy and briny capers, when I try it I'll let you know how it comes out. I read another recipe which mentioned cutting one lemon in half and putting one half in the salted water used to cook the pasta, another tip to try.
When it comes down to feeding your body and mind, nothing is superior to preparing your food from scratch, with quality ingredients and served with love.
