Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 40 cloves garlic or 4 bulbs of fresh garlic, roasted (directions below)
- 4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (1 large lemon)
- 2 Tbsp roasted garlic olive oil plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup Tahini
- salt
garnish
- 4 roasted garlic cloves
- fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- If you are roasting your own garlic, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- To roast garlic: Slice the tip end off of each bulb of garlic. Set the bulbs cut side up in a small baking dish or on a piece of foil. Brush or drizzle with the garlic olive oil. Cover loosely with foil and roast for 60-70 minutes, or until soft and caramelized. Set aside to cool. When cool, pinch out the cloves by squeezing from the bottom of the head with your fingers, they'll pop right out.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas really well. Put in a food processor along with forty cloves of garlic --- count 'em!
- Puree for several minutes, scraping down the sides of the machine often, until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the lemon juice and garlic olive oil, and continue to puree, scraping down the sides often.
- Add in the tahini and salt and blend well. Finally, add 1/4 cup cold water and give it a final few pulses. Taste the hummus to adjust any of the ingredients.
- Turn the hummus into a serving dish, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon.
- Just before serving garnish with a few more garlic cloves, a drizzle of Roasted Garlic Oil and some fresh thyme leaves.
