Instructions

Drain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid.
Place chickpeas and the remaining ingredients in a food processor.
Process for a couple of minutes until blended, scraping the bowl as needed.
If too thick, gradually add reserved chickpea liquid, one tablespoon at a time.
Continue processing until smooth and creamy, around 5 minutes, adding more liquid if necessary.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

For a smoother texture, ensure to scrape down the sides of the food processor regularly.
Feel free to adjust the garlic to taste depending on your preference.
Garnish with paprika, olive oil, or chopped herbs for added flavor.
