Gluten-Free Lebanese Hummus Appetizers

Ingredients:

1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt, to taste
2-3 tablespoons water, as needed
Paprika and fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Instructions:

In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, fresh lemon juice, tahini, minced garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt.

Process the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. If the hummus is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and create a well in the center with the back of a spoon.

Drizzle a bit of extra-virgin olive oil over the top and sprinkle with paprika for color.

Garnish with fresh parsley leaves.
