Ingredients

3. Open the can of garbanzo beans, drain liquid and rinse well.

5. If the hummus is too thick or has tiny bits of garbanzo beans, turn the food processor on and slowly add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water until the consistency is perfect. 

6. Place hummus in a bowl and drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Serve with a sprinkle of of paprika. 

7. Store homemade hummus in an airtight container and refrigerate up to one week.
