Instructions

Drain the chickpeas and reserve 1/4 cup of chickpea water (aquafaba). Transfer the drained chickpeas into the food processor.
Add 2 tbsp of the aquafaba before you start blending. Process until you have a smooth paste. You might need to scape down the sides once or twice and add 2 more tbsp of aquafaba while blending. Take your time with this step because it will give you the creamy consistency.
Add tahini, lime juice, salt and water to blend again for 1-2 minutes. Add the water one tablespoon at the time to reach the desired consistency.
Add 2 ice cubes and blend again to give the hummus a fluffy and smooth consistency.
Top with pomegranate dees, olive oil and fresh parsley.
