Cooking Instructions

20 mins

    Strain the chickpeas and run cold water to remove all the baking soda.

  6. 6

    Add the cumin and the chickpeas to the blender. While blending, add the olive oil.

  7. 7

    Blend until the mixture is extremely smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor as necessary, about 2 minutes. Add more water if necessary to achieve a creamy texture.

  8. 8

    Taste, and adjust the salt and lemon juice as necessary.

  9. 9

    Scrape the hummus into a serving bowl or plate. Top with garnishes of your choice, and serve.
