  1. Start by draining and rinsing a can of chickpeas under cold water to remove excess sodium and canning liquid.

  3. Gradually incorporate the fresh lemon juice into the food processor, blending continuously for another 30 seconds.
  4. Add a couple of tablespoons of cold water to the mixture, blending for about 15 seconds at a time until creamy.
  5. Season to taste by gradually adding salt, blending after each addition.
  6. Transfer the hummus to a serving dish, making a well in the center and garnish with smoked paprika and fresh herbs.
