Hummus

So I had to drain a can of chickpeas in order to make my Chocolate Mousse. Therefore, I had to make something with the chickpeas themselves! An easy way to use up chickpeas: hummus. I used a small blender my brother gave me last year, and it worked fine, with lots of mixing between pulsing times.

I had some as dipping sauce for veggies.
