Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Drain and Rinse Chickpeas

    Open the can of chickpeas and drain the liquid. Rinse the chickpeas under cold water to remove excess sodium.

  2. 2

    Prepare Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them to help with blending.

Blending

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, fresh lemon juice, chopped garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, and salt.

  2. 4

    Blend Until Smooth

    Blend the mixture on high speed until it is completely smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add water gradually until the desired consistency is reached.

Serving

  1. 5

    Transfer Hummus

    Scoop the hummus into a serving bowl, using a spatula to smooth the top.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Drizzle extra olive oil on top, sprinkle with paprika, and add chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the hummus with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers as desired.
