Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin and the juice of 1 lemon to the mixture.

Add a few teaspoons of olive oil and a splash of water to help combine the ingredients.

Put the lid on the food processor and pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended, then continue until it reaches a smooth paste consistency.

Remove the lid and scrape down the sides with a spoon to ensure everything is well incorporated.

Transfer the hummus to a bowl using a spatula, making a well in the center for olive oil.

Sprinkle additional ground cumin around the edges of the hummus.

Garnish with Aleppo pepper and drizzle some olive oil on top.

Serve with pita bread and taste the hummus.
