Silky Classic Hummus

Drain chickpeas, reserving liquid. Optionally peel skins for smoother hummus.

Blend tahini, lemon juice, and garlic until pale and creamy, about 1 minute.

Add chickpeas, ice water, half the olive oil, and salt. Blend 3–4 minutes until very smooth and silky.

Taste and adjust salt and lemon. Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with remaining olive oil, and dust with paprika.
