Method

Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the garbanzo beans

    If using canned garbanzo beans, drain and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. If using dried beans, soak them overnight and then cook until tender.

  2. 2

    Blend the ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the garbanzo beans, tahini, roasted garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.

  3. 3

    Adjust consistency and seasoning

    If the hummus is too thick, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the vegetables

    Wash and peel the cucumber, bell pepper, and carrot. Cut them into sticks or bite-sized pieces for dipping.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the hummus

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle with paprika or parsley if desired. Serve with pita bread and fresh vegetables.
