1Place garbanzo beans in a large bowl. Add cold water until beans are covered with 5–8 cm (2–3”) of water. Let soak for 8 hours. Drain.
2Place garbanzo beans in a large pot. Add cold water until beans are covered with 5–8 cm (2–3”) of water. Add bay leaves and baking soda. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 2–2.5 hours. Add water as needed and/or until completely cooked. Remove from heat. Let cool. Strain.
3Place all hummus ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4Add 500 mL (2 cups) cooked garbanzo beans or canned garbanzo beans, rinsed under cold water. Purée for 2–3 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Add water and scrape sides of bowl as needed.
5Season to taste. Set aside.
6Place cooked pine nuts and garbanzo beans in a non-stick skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from heat.
7Serve hummus on a plate. Drizzle pesto on top. Stir gently. Add pine nuts and toasted garbanzo beans on top.
8Enjoy with pita bread.
9You can cook the garbanzo beans in a slow cooker for 8 hours on low heat or in a pressure cooker for 1 hour.
10Adding baking soda while cooking will make the garbanzo beans very soft. This will give your hummus a nice smooth texture.
11Garbanzo beans are very similar to chickpeas. They are a little bigger and have a stronger taste than chickpeas. Either works well in this recipe.
