Hummus Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chickpeas

    Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water. This helps reduce the sodium content and removes any canning liquid.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Blend the Mixture

    Pulse the ingredients in the food processor until the mixture is smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more lemon juice, salt, or cumin according to your preference.

  5. 5

    Serve the Hummus

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle paprika on top for flavor and garnish. If desired, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the hummus.
