Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas. tahini, garlic, lemon zest and juice, and spices.
  2. Process until almost smooth, a few minutes.
  3. With machine running, slowly pour in the oils until well incorporated.
  4. Stop and check texture. If it is at all heavy, turn machine back on and process again, adding water a bit at a time until texture is lighter and a bit fluffy but not gloopy- this takes a bit of trial and error!
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  6. Scrape hummus out into a wide bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
  7. Store refrigerated; best if flavors are allowed to mellow a few hours before serving.
  8. Just before serving, sprinkle a little paprika on top for a nice color.
  9. Serve with pita bread triangles or any other thinly.sliced bread or cracker.
