📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. 1. In a food processor, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, horseradish, and minced garlic.

2. 2. Process the mixture for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the ingredients are well blended and form a thick paste.

3. 3. Add the olive oil, ground cumin, and salt to the food processor. Process again for 30 seconds to distribute the flavors.

4. 4. Gradually drizzle in the ice-cold water while the food processor is running. This step helps to create a smoother and creamier texture. Continue processing for about 1-2 minutes until the hummus is smooth and creamy.

5. 5. Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, lemon juice, or horseradish, depending on your flavor preference.

6. 6. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. If desired, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh parsley, and a sprinkle of paprika for added color and flavor.

7. 7. Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers. Alternatively, refrigerate the hummus in an airtight container for up to 5 days before serving.
