This is truly the perfect hummus, in my humble opinion. Roasting the garlic brings out its nutty and sweet flavor and cuts down on the sharpness. It's well worth the time! Try it, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

SERVES 14 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups canned chick-peas or cooked chickpeas
2 tablespoons tahini
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup warm water
1 large head of garlic
1 lemon, juice of
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375°F Cut off the very top of the garlic clove (about 1/4") so that the tops of most of the cloves are exposed slightly. Coat with a little olive oil and wrap securely in tin foil. Roast garlic in oven for 1 hour. Remove and allow to cool.
2
Using your fingers, squeeze the soft, roasted garlic out of each clove into food processor. Rinse and drain cooked or canned chickpeas. Add them, and all other ingredients, to the food processor and blend until completely smooth.
3
Scrape ingredients off sides of food processor to make sure it blends evenly. If you find that the hummus is too thick, you can add additional olive oil at this time. Add it very slowly, allowing the mixture to combine fully before adding more liquid.
4
Serve at room temperature with crudites, warm pita or crackers.
5
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped parsley or paprika before serving.

This is a great base recipe. I love garlic, so I did not find that it was too much for use. It was a little bland as posted, so I adjusted it a bit. I increased the lemon juice and tahini and added cumin, coriander and cayenne. I topped it with a smidge of olive oil and extra garlic (minced) and roasted red pepper. It was a huge hit!

I love hummus and make it all the time and I also love garlic but had never tried to roast it before. This hummus was absolutely delicious! The garlic was mellow instead of sharp, yet still flavourful, which was really nice with the other flavours from the tahini and lemon juice. I didn't add any olive oil for personal preference, yet my hummus was still nice and creamy with just the 1/4 cup water. I'll definitely be making this again!! Thanks so much!

You gotta hit here! My partner is a hummus nut, and gives this 5 stars. I made this for a work potluck, so doubled the recipe easily. Thanks for posting!
