1
Prepare the Chickpeas
If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them under cold water. If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight in water, then boil until tender.
2
Peel the Garlic
Take the garlic cloves and peel them. You can optionally roast them for a milder flavor.

3
Blend Ingredients
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, and water. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4
Adjust Consistency
If the hummus is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

5
Serve the Hummus
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with additional cumin or paprika if desired.
6
Accompaniments
Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers for dipping.
