Step 1
Drain and rinse the 15 oz chickpeas. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 garlic clove, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Blend until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
If the hummus is too thick, add water 1 tbsp at a time until it reaches a creamy, spreadable consistency. Season with salt to taste.
Step 3
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the 2 tbsp pine nuts, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
Step 4
Spread the hummus onto a serving plate, making a slight swirl with the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Drizzle the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over the top, then sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, and 1/2 tsp paprika. Serve with warm pita bread.
Step 6
If you have them, add a pinch of cumin or a drizzle of extra lemon juice for extra flavor.
