Rinse the chickpeas, add them to a pot with 2-4 cups of water, baking soda, optional onion and garlic, and boil for at least 30 minutes, preferably 45-50 minutes, until very soft and mushy.
Remove the onion and garlic, then transfer the chickpeas to a blender or food processor using a slotted spoon or sieve to drain excess water.

Mix additional tahini with lemon juice and water to make a sauce, plate the hummus, drizzle with the sauce and olive oil, and sprinkle with favorite spices.
