Now, taste the mixture, and adjust seasonings. Here is where you can add in the additional tablespoon of lemon juice if desired.
Transfer to a serving bowl, try to swirl with the back of the spoon. Add the cooked chickpeas on top, or off to one side. Then lightly drizzle with extra virgin olive oil on top and sprinkle with paprika around the sides, and add a sprinkle of dried parsley flakes on top, as a garnish.
