Are you in love with hummus as much as I am? Then you must try this incredible Israeli style Hummus Masabacha (Hummus with Whole Chickpeas) recipe. Found in almost all restaurants across Israel and definitely sold in every supermarket, I have found the perfect recipe to make your own. Not just delicious, hummus is so healthy for one’s body, too!
To make Hummus Masabacha (Hummus with Whole Chickpeas), you will need the following ingredients:
In a large pot, combine ½ pound of dried chickpeas with 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 tablespoon of salt then cover with 6 cups of cold water. Stir until the salt and baking soda completely dissolves. Set aside, at room temperature overnight to soak.
The next day, drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas extremely well.
Add the remaining teaspoon of baking soda along with 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 onion that has been cut in half, 1 celery, 1 carrot, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 bay leaves, and a sprig of rosemary, if you wish.
Pour 6 cups of water over the ingredients and bring to a high heat boil then reduce the heat, cover with a lid, leaving a small space for steam to escape and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the chickpeas are very soft and almost falling apart. Add more water if needed so that the chickpeas are completely covered at all times during the cooking process. Allow to cool slightly before removing the onion, garlic, celery, carrot, bay leaves, and rosemary and discarding. Drain the remaining, cooked chickpeas and reserve the cooking water.
Transfer about ¼ of the cooked chickpeas to a blender or food processor and add 1 cup of tahini sauce. Blend until very smooth but still pourable. If needed, add a little of the cooking water, however take care to not make it too watery.
Transfer the hummus and tahini mixture to a mixing bowl and add the remaining ¾ of cooked chickpeas along with ⅓ cup of minced parsley and stir to evenly mix everything together. To thicken your hummus, place it in the refrigerator. To thin, add some of the reserved chickpea cooking water.
Serve on a plate, drizzle the hummus with some olive oil and garnish with any of the above options of your choice. Enjoy with matzo.

I'm not a hummus fan but this changed my mind for good, super tasty and the flavors start a party in your mouth.
Takes a bit too long just for hummus but it was pretty decent.
Had this with some nacho chips on the side, was really filling and yummy, I'm satisfied with this!
Brought this in for lunch at work today and everyone was asking what it was, ended up having to make more the very next day to share, LOL.
