Hummus and Accompaniments

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hummus

    In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, adding more water if necessary to achieve desired consistency.

  2. 2

    Chill the Hummus

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the hummus is chilling, wash and cut the cucumber, carrots, and bell pepper into sticks. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

  4. 4

    Warm the Pita Bread

    Toast or warm the pita bread in a skillet or oven until slightly crispy. Cut into triangles for dipping.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the hummus, pita bread, and fresh vegetables on a platter. Enjoy as a dip!
