A rich and creamy hummus recipe with a bold garlic flavor, perfect for dipping or spreading.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then place them in the food processor.
Rinsing canned chickpeas helps reduce the sodium content and improves the flavor.
Add the lemon juice, garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, white pepper, and salt to the food processor.
Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives a brighter flavor compared to bottled juice.
Blend the mixture until it starts to become smooth.
Scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure even blending.
While blending, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and water until the hummus reaches a creamy consistency.
Adding the liquids gradually helps achieve the perfect texture.
Transfer the hummus to a serving plate and spread it evenly.
Use the back of a spoon to create swirls for an appealing presentation.
Garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
Drizzle a bit of olive oil on top for added richness and shine.
Serve with pita bread or fresh vegetables.
Warm the pita bread slightly for a more enjoyable experience.
