Homemade hummus

For homemade hummus, drain the chickpeas from the can and rinse them in a sieve under running water.

Peel and press the garlic cloves, squeeze the juice from the lemon, and for a smoother result gently rub off and discard the chickpea skins.

Put the chickpeas, tahini, pressed garlic and lemon juice into a blender and blend into a thick mass.

While blending, add ice-cold water and olive oil a spoonful at a time until the mixture turns creamy and fluffy.

Stir in the ground cumin and salt, blend briefly again and taste.

Spread the finished hummus into a bowl, make a swirl with the back of a spoon, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with ground sweet paprika and chopped parsley.
