Preparation

Step 1

Place the chickpeas (if using dried) in a large bowl and cover in cold water. Let soak overnight. Drain well and transfer to a large kettle. Cover with cold water (use twice as much water as chickpeas) and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Drain and let cool completely. While the chickpeas cook, bake the sweet potatoes at 400°, also for 1 hour. Let cool completely and then discard skins and cut into chunks. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until very smooth. Serve with pita chips or fresh vegetables.
