Beginner-friendly tips
Read these three practical tips before cooking. Check how the food looks and feels, not just the clock.
- Rinse and drain canned beans or chickpeas first. This gives you better control over saltiness and spread thickness.
- Blend in short bursts; stop and scrape the sides of the bowl so no lumps remain.
- Add water one tablespoon at a time. Thick spread is easy to loosen, but a runny one is harder to fix.
