This Roasted Garlic Hummus has a kick! It’s velvety smooth and can be used as a dip, spread or sauce.

The Recipe

This Hummus is for the garlic lovers and takes very minimal prep.

Ingredients

• 1 tin (540ml) Chickpeas, drained

• 1 bulb of garlic

• 3 Tbsp Tahini

• 2 Tbsp canola oil

• 2 tsp white wine vinegar

• 1 tsp pink peppercorn

• 1/4 cup water

• pinch of freshly ground pepper

• 2 to 3 tsp salt (to taste)

• 1 Tbsp olive oil (for roasting garlic)

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Place garlic on a sheet of tin foil and drizzle with olive oil.

3. Wrap the garlic in the tin foil and place in the oven, cooking for 20 minutes.

4. Once garlic is done, let cool just so you can handle it with your hand then pinch out the garlic; it should just slide out easily from the skin.

5. In a blender, add: Chickpeas, Roasted garlic (reserve 3 to 4 cloves to garnish your hummus), tahini, canola oil, vinegar, pink peppercorn, water, pepper and salt.

6. Blend until velvety smooth. If your blender has a tamper attachment I would recommend you use it.

7. Scoop your hummus into a bowl and garnish with some roasted garlic, a fresh herb of your choice and serve up with any veggies, breads or crackers of your choice.

Bonus Tip!!!

• This hummus works great as a spread in lieu of a garlic aioli without copious amounts of fat.

• Pairs well with any vegetables, breads or crackers
