Preparation Steps
- Combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, 0.06 cup olive oil, cumin, and salt in a food processor.
- Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times.
- While the food processor is running, gradually add the 0.01 cup ice cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or lemon juice to your preference.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil.
- Garnish with chopped Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, fresh parsley, and a dusting of paprika, if desired.
- Serve immediately with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or as a spread.
Notes
For an even creamier hummus, you can remove the skins from the chickpeas before processing. If you don't have ice cold water, you can add a few ice cubes to the food processor and blend until smooth, then remove any remaining ice.
