Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Drain and Rinse Chickpeas

    Open the cans of chickpeas and drain them in a colander. Rinse the chickpeas under cold water to remove any excess salt and canning liquid.

  2. 2

    Prepare Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves. If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, you can roast them beforehand.

  3. 3

    Gather Ingredients

    Assemble all the ingredients on a clean workspace for easy access during blending.

Blending

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas, tahini, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and water.

  2. 5

    Blend Until Smooth

    Process the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add more water one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Serving

  1. 6

    Transfer to Serving Dish

    Scoop the hummus into a 9” x 12” serving dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

  2. 7

    Garnish
