Classic Hummus

• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice, from concentrate at natural strength
• 1/3 cup tahini paste
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained (about 2 cups)
• 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
• salt, to taste
• For Garnish
• paprika (optional)
• extra virgin olive oil (optional)

1. In a food processor mini-chopper or blender, process garlic, lemon juice, and tahini to a smooth paste.
2. Add chickpeas, water, cumin, and salt to taste and blend until desired texture is achieved, but not too smooth - best somewhere around an applesauce texture.
3. Spoon into 2 serving bowls (I find dividing it into 2 bowls has been useful over the years, but you can use 1 or as many serving bowls you want of course.). Sprinkle top of hummus with paprika, then create small swirl wells in the center of each bowl and pour a bit of extra virgin olive oil in the well. Serve with your favorite snacks! Store in refrigerator.
