Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chickpeas

    Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water to remove excess sodium. Set aside to drain.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Blending

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, and lemon juice. If using, add olive oil, cumin, and salt.

  2. 4

    Blend Until Smooth

    Process the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the hummus is too thick, add a bit of water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

Serving

  1. 5

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, lemon juice, or cumin to suit your taste.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with additional olive oil, sprinkle with paprika, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers.
