Ingredients:

1 cup dried chickpeas (garbanzo beans), soaked overnight in plenty of water
2 garlic cloves
Juice of 1 large lemon
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

Directions:

Drain chickpeas and cook them in a pot of simmering water until tender. Drain and set aside.

Combine chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and tahini in a food processor and blend until ingredients come together into a thick paste.

With the food processor running, add a little water, about half a tablespoon at a time, until the hummus becomes smooth and creamy. Add sea salt, to taste.

Transfer creamy hummus into a bowl and dust with cumin. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil just before serving.
