Hummus

Pita Bread

Method

Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chickpeas

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

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves (peeled), olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and water.

  3. 3

    Process Until Smooth

    Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl and add additional water if the hummus is too thick.

  4. 4

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin to suit your preference.

  5. 5

    Serve

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

Pita Bread Preparation

  1. 6

    Warm Pita Bread

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Wrap the pita bread in aluminum foil and place in the oven for about 10 minutes until warmed through.

  2. 7

    Cut and Serve

    Once warmed, cut the pita bread into triangles and serve alongside the hummus.
