Instructions:

- Ensure that the chickpeas are drained and rinsed well to remove any excess sodium from the canning liquid.
- For a smoother puree, use a high-speed blender or food processor to blend the ingredients thoroughly.
- Balance the consistency by adjusting the amount of sour cream or adding a splash of water if needed.
- Toast the garlic cloves lightly before adding them to the mixture for a deeper flavor profile.
- Season with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
