Steps:
- Place garlic, salt, tahini, and lemon juice into a food processor; process until smooth. Pour in the garbanzo beans and 1/2 cup olive oil; process until smooth again, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Once smooth, add the sun-dried tomatoes, and pulse until they have been chopped to very small pieces and are incorporated into the hummus. Finally, add the basil, and pulse a few times until mixed in.
- Spread the hummus into a shallow serving dish, and make a few decorative grooves on top. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with paprika before serving.

Tips:
- For an extra creamy hummus, use canned chickpeas that have been soaked overnight in water.
- To save time, use store-bought sun-dried tomatoes. If using dried sun-dried tomatoes, rehydrate them in hot water for 15 minutes before using.
- Be sure to use fresh basil for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute dried basil, but use only half the amount.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
- Serve the hummus with pita chips, vegetables, or crackers.
