Hummus Base

Method

Prepare the Hummus

  1. 1

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine canned chickpeas, tahini, basil, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and ground cumin. Blend until smooth.

  2. 2

    Adjust Consistency

    If the hummus is too thick, add a little water or extra olive oil to reach your desired consistency.

Prepare Toppings

    Crispy Chickpeas

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas, then pat them dry. Toss with olive oil and seasoning, then spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy.

  2. 4

    Warm Pita Bread

    Wrap pita bread in aluminum foil and warm in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
