Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chickpeas

    If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them under cold water to reduce sodium content. If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight and boil until tender.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic clove (peeled), olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and water.

Blending

  1. 3

    Process Until Smooth

    Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. You may add more water if the hummus is too thick.

Serving

  1. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with extra olive oil, sprinkle paprika, and top with chopped parsley before serving.
