Preparation

Hummus Preparation

1. Prepare the Chickpeas

If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight and then cook until tender. If using canned, drain and rinse them under cold water.

2. Blend Ingredients

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

3. Adjust Consistency

If the hummus is too thick, add water gradually until the desired consistency is reached.

4. Taste and Adjust

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

5. Serve

Transfer the hummus to a serving dish, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with paprika, and garnish with fresh parsley.
