Soak almonds and sesame seeds in water for a few hours or overnight.

Rinse and drain the soaked almonds and sesame seeds.

Add soaked sesame seeds to the food processor.

Add 2 cloves of garlic to the food processor.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of crushed black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin to the food processor.

Process the mixture in the food processor until it becomes a dough-like consistency, scraping down the sides as needed.

If the mixture is too dry, add water gradually until desired consistency is reached.

Continue processing until the mixture is smooth, which may take about half an hour, depending on the food processor.

Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and serve with crackers, cucumber sticks, or carrot sticks.
