In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the "S" blade, grind down the drained and rinsed almonds. Add the remaining ingredients, minus half the water. Begin again to puree the ingredients together, adding water until you reach a creamy texture.

Taste the hummus and adjust any ingredients to your liking: garlic, lemon juice, cumin, olive oil.

This can be served drizzled with olive oil and dusted with cumin and paprika.
