Boil the soaked chickpeas in water with 1 teaspoon salt and 2 pinches of baking soda, covering it and cooking for 4 to 5 whistles.

Once boiled, let the chickpeas cool down before grinding them in a mixer jar.

Add 10 cloves of garlic, a little salt, 2 tablespoons of tahini, and 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil to the mixer.

Add 3 ice cubes and lemon juice to the mixture and grind until smooth.

Serve the hummus and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, garnishing with red chili powder and chopped parsley.
