Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chickpeas

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

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Process until Smooth

    Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as necessary. Add more salt, lemon juice, or garlic to suit your preference.

  5. 5

    Serve

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