Method

Preparation of Hummus

  1. 1

    Prepare Chickpeas

    If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight in water and then boil until tender. If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water to reach your desired consistency.

  3. 3

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the hummus and add salt or more lemon juice as needed to suit your preference.

Serving

  1. 4

    Prepare Pita Bread

    Warm the pita bread in a toaster or on a skillet until soft.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl, drizzle with additional olive oil, and serve alongside the warm pita bread.
