Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chickpeas

    If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them under cold water. If using cooked chickpeas, ensure they are cooled and ready for blending.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and water.

Blending

  1. 3

    Blend the Mixture

    Process the mixture on high speed for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Serving

    Serve the Hummus

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley if desired.

  2. 5
