Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and well drained
1/3 cup tahini
1/4 cup cold water
2 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp lemon juice
salt
black pepper, freshly ground
paprika
parsley sprigs
1 black olive

Directions:

In a medium-size bowl, combine tahini with cold water and stir vigorously with a fork to soften for 2 to 3 minutes. Place chickpeas in a food processor and grind to a coarse meal. Add tahini, garlic, and cumin. Pulverize for about 45 seconds. Slowly add olive oil and lemon juice, alternating between each, and continue to process for about 5 minutes, on and off, until hummus becomes smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove to a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika. Garnish with parsley and a black olive.
