Hummus Base

Method

Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the canned white beans (drained and rinsed), tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and water. Blend until smooth.

  2. 2

    Adjust Consistency

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

Serving Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the hummus is blending, prepare the vegetable garnish by slicing the Kalamata olives, dicing the cucumber, and cutting the carrot into sticks.

  2. 4

    Serve the Hummus

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with a little extra olive oil, and sprinkle with the sliced olives. Arrange the diced cucumber and carrot sticks around the bowl, along with pieces of lavash bread for dipping.
