Homemade Hummus with Zaatar and Sweet Paprika

• 2 cups Chickpeas, Drained (Reserve 1/3 Cup Liquid)
• 1/2 cups Tahini
• 1/4 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• Cracked Black Pepper, To Taste
• 1 Large Lemon, Juiced
• 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1. Reserve about 1/3 cup chickpea liquid and 1/4 cup chickpeas for garnish.
2. Put remaining drained chickpeas, tahini, oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor (a blender will give you a much smoother hummus).
3. Begin to blend and add the chickpea liquid as needed to create a smooth puree.
4. Taste and adjust to your liking.
5. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
6. Garnish with zaatar, paprika, parsley, and reserved chickpeas.
7. Makes about 2 cups.
