Preparation of Hummus

1. Drain and Rinse Chickpeas

Open the can of chickpeas, drain the liquid, and rinse the chickpeas under cold water to remove excess sodium.

2. Combine Ingredients in a Food Processor

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

3. Blend Until Smooth

Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

4. Adjust Consistency

If the hummus is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend until the desired consistency is reached.

5. Taste and Adjust Flavor

Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.

6. Transfer to Serving Bowl

Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl, creating a shallow well in the center.

7. Drizzle with Olive Oil

Drizzle a little olive oil on top of the hummus, and if desired, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or parsley.
