Instructions

In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the red lentils and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the lentils are soft and starting to break down.
Drain any excess water and allow the lentils to cool slightly.
In a food processor or blender, add the cooked lentils, olive oil, lemon juice, and paprika. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, you can add a little water or olive oil to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice or salt to your preference.
