Step 1
In a food processor or blender, add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, almonds, garlic cloves, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, cumin, and a pinch of salt.

Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt if needed.

If desired, transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. You can drizzle a little olive oil over the top, sprinkle with a pinch of paprika, and garnish with chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
