Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Chickpeas

    Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold running water to remove excess sodium and preserve freshness.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    Peel the garlic clove and set aside. Optionally, you can roast the garlic for a milder flavor.

Blending

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

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

  2. 4

    Blend to Desired Consistency

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

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish the Hummus

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle paprika and chopped parsley on top for garnish.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the hummus with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers as desired.
