Making the Hummus

  1. 1

    Prepare Chickpeas

    Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Process Until Smooth

    Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. If necessary, add more water (1 tablespoon at a time) to reach desired consistency.

Preparing Mezze Toppings

  1. 5
