Taking the skins off the chick peas is time-consuming, but once I tasted the difference in the hummus, I was convinced that my labor was not in vain. Interesting use of pickle juice--but worked well. The only thing that I would change is to add 1/2 cup either chick pea liquid or water to the recipe for an even creamier texture. Or clarify the recipe to include more liquid. Otherwise, great tip and great hummus!

Hmm... let's see.. Cooking is my passion... I'm retired now and able to cook and bake every day. I think the most helpful cookbook that I own would have to be The New Doubleday Cookbook. I just love kitchen gadgets and have many of them. Besides cooking I love to sing and belong to the Sweet Adeline's International.
I get very annoyed at people who are LATE! I think it's just as easy to be late as it is to be on time.
Well.. thanks to all of you at Zaar for all of your terrific recipes and ideas that bring my friends and family much joy and happiness. They get to try all of my new recipes.
