Method
Preparation of Hummus
Rinse the Chickpeas
Open the can of chickpeas, pour them into a colander, and rinse them under cold water to remove excess sodium and liquid.
Blend Ingredients
In a food processor, combine the rinsed chickpeas, tahini, garlic cloves (peeled), lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, and salt.
Add Water
While blending, add the water gradually until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. You can add more water if it's too thick.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lemon juice as needed.
Serve
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with additional ground cumin if desired.
Preparing Pita
Warm the Pita
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Wrap the pita bread in aluminum foil and place them in the oven for about 5-10 minutes until warm.
Slice for Serving
Once warmed, remove the pita from the oven, unwrap, and cut into triangles for easy dipping.
