Hummus Ingredients

Method

Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Blend the Base

    In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, ground cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth.

  2. 2

    Adjust Consistency

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

  3. 3

    Chill

    Transfer the hummus to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the chilled hummus with crostini on the side. Drizzle a little olive oil on top of the hummus for garnish if desired.
