Hummus Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Chickpeas

   If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them under cold water. If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight in water, then cook them in boiling water for about 1-2 hours until tender.

   Combine Ingredients

   In a food processor, add the prepared chickpeas, tahini, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.

3. 3

   Blend the Mixture

   Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

   Taste and Adjust

   Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed. 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 additional olive oil and garnish with paprika or fresh herbs if desired.
