Smooth garlic hummus
Report
When asked to feed a crowd of hummus lovers, try my version of smooth garlic hummus: incredibly silky, nourished with the best tahini, and interspersed with large bites of raw, pungent garlic. The overall result is unforgettable, authentic and incredibly satisfying.

Instructions
- In a large pot, combine chickpeas and onion with enough water to cover, plus an additional 2 inches. Bring to a boil, cover and cook chickpeas on low heat until they are completely soft and fall apart at the lightest touch, about 2-2.5 hours, and most of the water has evaporated. (Be patient! If your chickpeas are really slow to cook, increase heat to low-medium, but no more than that! Low and slow is the key here.)
- Once cooked, remove chickpeas from liquid using a slotted spoon, reserving about ½ cup chickpeas for later. Reserve liquid.
- In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves and salt and pepper. Taste, and correct seasonings as needed. Hummus should be as smooth as possible - if consistency is too thick for you, thin out with water or chickpea cooking liquid, adding 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Serve hummus warm, drizzled with olive oil and topped with whole reserved chickpeas, za’atar and sumac. Hummus can be eaten with pita, crudites or with pieces of raw onions.

Notes
- What tahini to use: The Dove tahini is my favourite, and I bring it with me from Israel each time I go. If shopping local, steer clear of Greek tahini; I've had good results with the Arabic tahini in a white jar with an orange lid, but I encourage you to try different ones and find your favourite
