1
Prepare the Chickpeas
If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight and cook until tender. If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them well.
2
Blend the Ingredients
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, ground cumin, salt, and water. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
3
Taste and Adjust
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or garlic to suit your preferences.
4
Serve
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with additional olive oil if desired. Serve with warm pita bread.
