Thanks for this I love hummus.

Ingredients

• 1 15-ounce can chickpeas (or 1½ cups cooked dried chickpeas)
• ¼ cup tahini
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
• 3 tbsp aquafaba (liquid from the canned chickpeas) or ice-cold water
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ tsp sea salt, or to taste
• A pinch of Aleppo pepper, paprika, or sumac, for garnish (optional)

Put it all in a food processor and blend to your favorite consistency.

Garnish with smoked paprika. My wife is Armenian and they use sumac on kebabs. I have never dusted my hummus with this.
