🍳 Instructions

1. Blend garlic and lemon first

• Scrape down the sides as needed to keep it smooth.

3. Add chickpeas, spices, and liquids

• Add chickpeas, salt, and cumin.

• Blend while gradually adding the olive oil and cold water.

• Continue blending for 2–3 minutes until creamy and smooth.

4. Adjust the texture

• If too thick, add more cold water little by little.

• Taste and adjust lemon or salt to your liking.

5. Serve and garnish

• Spoon into a shallow dish.

• Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle paprika, and finish with whole chickpeas and parsley.

🌿 Kuisit Tip

For an ultra-smooth finish, soak your canned chickpeas in hot water with ½ tsp baking soda for 10 minutes, then rinse and peel. It takes time, but your hummus will feel like velvet on the tongue.
