Instructions
Place the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic-infused olive oil in a food processor. If using ground cumin, add it to the food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little water or more olive oil to achieve your desired consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Blend again to incorporate the seasoning.
Taste and adjust the flavor by adding more lemon juice, salt, or pepper if needed.
Once the hummus reaches your desired consistency and flavor, scoop the hummus into a serving bowl and generously drizzle it with olive oil.
If you prefer, scatter a handful of chickpeas in the center. If using sumac, finish by sprinkling sumac over the top for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and paprika, if using.
