Step-by-Step Instructions for Authentic Hummus

Start by draining and rinsing a can of chickpeas under cold water to remove excess sodium and canning liquid.
In a food processor, combine the rinsed chickpeas and Soco tahini. Pulse for about 30 seconds until well-combined but still grainy.
Gradually incorporate the fresh lemon juice into the food processor, blending continuously for another 30 seconds.
Add a couple of tablespoons of cold water to the mixture, blending for about 15 seconds at a time until creamy.
Season to taste by gradually adding salt, blending after each addition.
Transfer the hummus to a serving dish, making a well in the center and garnish with smoked paprika and fresh herbs.
