Instructions

About 5 min
Add the tahini, lemon juice, mashed garlic, salt, and cumin to the mashed chickpeas, then mix well.
💡 Tip: Adjust the amount of lemon juice to taste to maintain flavor balance.
Gradually add the cold water while mixing until you achieve a creamy and smooth consistency suitable for spreading on bread.
💡 Tip: Do not add all the water at once to avoid thinning the hummus too much.
Transfer the hummus to a serving dish, drizzle olive oil on top, and sprinkle paprika for garnish, serve with fresh Arabic bread.
💡 Tip: You can garnish the hummus with a bit of chopped parsley or whole chickpeas.
