Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hummus

    In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin powder, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.

  2. 2

    Adjust Consistency and Flavor

    If the hummus is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Taste and adjust salt and lemon juice as needed.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with additional olive oil, and sprinkle with a dash of paprika if desired. Serve with warm pita bread.
