Brown Lentil Hummus

Rinse lentils first, then add to a medium-size saucepan and cover with 3 cups of water. Heat to boiling and then reduce to simmer. Simmer for about 20 minutes, until lentils are tender. Drain but reserve 1 tablespoon of the liquid.

In a food processor, add cooked lentils, lemon juice, garlic clove, tahini, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and reserved liquid from cooking lentils. Mix for about 1 minute until smooth.

Transfer mixture to a prepared jar or another dish. Garnish with remaining olive oil and ground paprika.
