Hummus Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Chickpeas

   If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight in water. Drain and rinse. Cook in boiling water for 1-2 hours until soft. If using canned chickpeas, simply drain and rinse them.

2. 2

   Blend Ingredients

   In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves (peeled), olive oil, and salt.

3. 3

   Add Water

   While blending, gradually add water until you achieve your desired consistency. If you prefer a creamier hummus, you can add more water or olive oil.

4. 4

   Taste and Adjust

   Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning with more salt, lemon juice, or garlic as needed.

5. 5

   Serve

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