Hummus

Method

Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Blend the Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Process Until Smooth

    Blend the mixture on high until it is smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend until you reach your desired consistency.

  3. 3

    Taste and Adjust

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

Serving

  1. 4

    Prepare the Dippers

    Cut the pita bread into triangles and arrange them on a serving platter. Prepare the carrot sticks, cucumber sticks, and bell pepper strips by cutting them into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil if desired. Serve with the prepared pita and veggie sticks for dipping.
