Method

Preparing the Hummus

1

Rinse Chickpeas

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

2

Combine Ingredients

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

3

Blend

Pulse the food processor until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add additional water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

4

Taste and Adjust

Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, or garlic if desired.
