- 1 medium Garlic clove
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic clove, olive oil, ground cumin, and kosher salt.
Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
With the food processor running, drizzle in the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time to achieve a creamy consistency.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and use a spoon to create a shallow well in the center.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top of the hummus.
Arrange the sliced Kalamata olives and pepperoncini peppers in the well of the hummus.
Sprinkle paprika over the hummus for a pop of color, and scatter chopped parsley on top for garnish.
Serve with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers for dipping.
