Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them thoroughly. If using dry chickpeas, soak them overnight and then cook until tender.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and water.

  3. 3

    Process Until Smooth

    Pulse the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or garlic according to your preference.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle paprika and chopped parsley on top for garnish.
