Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight, then boil until tender. If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them under cold water.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Blend the ingredients until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or tahini to your liking.

  5. 5

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle paprika on top for garnish.
