Hummus Ingredients
Method
Hummus Preparation
Prepare the Chickpeas
If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight and then cook until tender. If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them under cold water.
Combine Ingredients
In a food processor, add the cooked or canned chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, and salt.
Blend Until Smooth
Blend the mixture on high until it reaches a smooth consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until desired creaminess is achieved.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning by adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Serve
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle paprika, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
