Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chickpeas

    Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water. If desired, you can peel the chickpeas for an even smoother hummus.

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, ground cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Adjust Consistency

    If the hummus is too thick, gradually add water (1 tablespoon at a time) until you reach your desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Taste and Season

    Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or garlic to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle paprika on top. Serve with pita bread or vegetable sticks.
