Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chickpeas

    Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Adjust Consistency

    If the hummus is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, blending until the desired consistency is reached.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired and serve with warm pita bread.
