Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, and salt to the tahini mixture. Process for another 30 seconds to combine.
Add the Chickpeas:
Add half of the chickpeas to the food processor and process for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides, then add the remaining chickpeas. Process for another 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Add Olive Oil and Water:
With the food processor running, slowly add the olive oil. Then add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.
Adjust Seasoning:
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You may want to add more salt, lemon juice, or garlic according to your taste.
Serve:
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika and chopped fresh parsley. Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a spread in sandwiches.
This ultra-creamy hummus is sure to be a hit, with its perfect balance of flavors and smooth texture. Enjoy!
