Smoked Paprika Hummus


1 jar (15 oz) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
Zest & juice of 1 lemon juice (1 large lemon - about 1/4 cup juice)
1/4 cup well-stirred tahini
1/4 cup olive oil plus extra for drizzling
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoons sea salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 to 3 tablespoons water
Optional garnish: chili flake, extra olive oil


Add everything, but olive oil and water to a food processor and blitz, until the chickpeas become slightly creamy. Drizzle in the olive oil and water and continue to blitz until very smooth. Taste for salt & pour into your serving bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil.  Dust with chili flake if desired.
