Hummus Recipe

Prepare the Chickpeas

If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight and cook until tender. If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them.

Blend Ingredients

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth.

Adjust Consistency

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

Taste and Adjust

Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning with extra salt, lemon juice, or cumin as needed.

Serve

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with paprika and fresh parsley, and serve with pita bread or vegetables.
