Hummus Ingredients

Method

Hummus Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Chickpeas

    Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water to remove excess sodium and canning liquid.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Adjust Consistency

    While blending, gradually add water (one tablespoon at a time) until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary – you can add 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 on top. Serve with pita bread.
