Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Drain and Rinse Chickpeas

    Open the can of chickpeas, drain the liquid, and rinse the chickpeas under cold water in a strainer.

  2. 2

    Prepare Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves. If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, you can roast them beforehand.

Making Hummus

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

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

  2. 4

    Blend Until Smooth

    Blend the mixture on high until it’s smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.

  3. 5

    Adjust Consistency and Flavor

    If the hummus is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve with Pita

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and serve with pita bread cut into triangles.
