Hummus Ingredients

Method

Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hummus

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

  2. 2

    Blend Until Smooth

    Process the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

  3. 3

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as necessary with additional salt or lemon juice.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Pita

    While the hummus is blending, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the pita bread into triangles and arrange them on a baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Warm the Pita

    Bake the pita bread in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until warm and slightly crisp.

  6. 6

    Serve

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