Steps:
- Add all ingredients together in food processor.
- Process until smooth.
- Serve as a dip for vegetables or as a filling for gyros.
- For gyros, toppings may include lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, radishes, parsley, olives or feta cheese.
Tips:
- For the smoothest hummus, use dried chickpeas that have been soaked overnight and cooked until very tender. Canned chickpeas can also be used, but they should be rinsed and drained well before using.
- Use a food processor or high-powered blender to get the hummus as smooth as possible. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the chickpeas by hand, but it will take a lot longer.
- Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt to the food processor or blender and process until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add a little bit of water or olive oil until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, garlic, cumin, or salt to taste.
- Hummus can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
