For a different taste, you can substitute white, butter or lima beans for chickpeas and 1 teaspoon toasted ground cumin seeds for the paprika.
*Note: If you need to follow a gluten-free diet, check the label to make sure the brand of tahini is gluten-free.
Using a blender or food processor, puree the chickpeas. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, paprika, tahini and parsley. Blend well.
Add the reserved liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture has the consistency of a thick spread.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
