Hummus Ingredients

Method

Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Garlic

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Hummus

    In a food processor, combine the drained garbanzo beans, tahini, the roasted garlic (squeeze out the cloves), olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, adding more water if necessary to reach desired consistency.

  3. 3

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired. Blend again to mix.

Serving Instructions

  1. 4

    Prepare Vegetables and Flatbread

    While the hummus is being prepared, wash and cut fresh vegetables into sticks or bite-sized pieces. Warm the flatbread or pita in the oven or on a skillet for a few minutes.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl, drizzle with a touch of olive oil, and serve with the fresh vegetables and flatbread on the side.
