Step-by-Step Instructions for Smooth & Creamy Hummus
  1. Gather all ingredients: chickpeas, tahini, sour cream or Greek yogurt, garlic clove, freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and paprika. Place these into a food processor or high-powered blender.
  2. Secure the lid on your food processor and blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed.
  3. Evaluate the consistency. If too thick, drizzle in more olive oil or reserved chickpea liquid, and blend for another 30 seconds.
  4. Taste and adjust flavors. Add more salt or garlic if needed. Blend again to incorporate any adjustments.
  5. Serve immediately in a bowl, garnished with olive oil and paprika or herbs. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
