Smooth Garlic Hummus

Remove skins from the Chickpeas (1 can) . You can do this quickly and easily by placing the chickpea between the thumb and index finger with the pointy end toward your palm and squeezing gently until the chickpea pops right out.

Add Tahini (1/2 cup) , juice from the Lemon (1) , Garlic (4 cloves) , Salt (1 tsp) , and Paprika (1/2 tsp) . Blend until thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides several times. Leave the food processor on and slowly drizzle the Water (1/4 cup) in.

Spoon hummus into a serving bowl and drizzle lightly with Olive Oil (to taste) and sprinkle with a bit more paprika. Serve with pita chips or pita and carrots.
