• With the blender going, slowly drizzle in more water (a tablespoon at a time), as necessary, and blend until you've reached your desired consistency.

When everything is smooth, creamy and combined, taste for seasoning and blend in a little more if you like. Also, if you want a looser or thinner consistency, blend in a little more water.Note: As mentioned, start with 3 tablespoons of water and add more later if you want things looser or thinner. It's easier to add than take away. If you didn't peel the chickpeas, it is likely that you will have to add a little more water.
