Hummus Ingredients

Method

Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Chickpeas

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

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Adjust Consistency

    If the hummus is too thick, add the water one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until the desired consistency is reached.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice according to your preference.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle paprika, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
