Step by step process

Preparation

1
For hummus with chilli, drain the chickpeas from the can and rinse them in a sieve under running water.
2
Peel and press the garlic cloves, squeeze the juice from the lemon, and seed and finely chop the red chilli.

Blending

3
Put the chickpeas, tahini, pressed garlic, lemon juice and chopped chilli into a blender and blend into a thick mass.
4
While blending, add ice-cold water and olive oil a spoonful at a time until the mixture turns creamy and fluffy.
TIP:
While blending, add ice-cold water in small increments. Cold water will help emulsify and preserve a fresh flavor, yielding a smooth, silky paste.
5
Stir in the ground cumin and salt, blend briefly, taste and add more chilli if you like.
