Method

Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chickpeas

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

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic (peeled), olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and water. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Adjust Consistency

    If the hummus is too thick, add more water (1 tablespoon at a time) until desired consistency is achieved.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle paprika on top.

Pita and Vegetable Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Pita

    Cut the pita bread into wedges and arrange them on a serving platter.

  2. 6

    Prepare Vegetables

    Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into sticks. Slice the cucumber and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Cut the celery sticks into smaller pieces.

  3. 7

    Arrange Platter

    Place the prepared vegetables around the hummus on the serving platter, ensuring a colorful presentation.
