Pulse for 30 seconds. With the food processor running, slowly add olive oil, starting with a 1/4 cup and adding more to get the desired consistency Blend, about 3 minutes, until smooth. Taste for seasoning. Transfer to a bowl.

In another bowl mash the remaining 2-3 cloves with a fork. Place into the center of the hummus and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika.
