What You Will Need:

• 2 – 15 ounce cans of chickpeas. Skins removed (optional)
• 1 head, or more, of roasted garlic
• 4 tablespoons of olive oil
• juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup of warm water
• 2-3 tablespoons of tahini
• 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt

Removing the chickpea skins

Removing the skins from the chickpeas can make the hummus less bitter and will give the hummus a smoother texture. There are two ways to get the skins off. The first way is rubbing the chickpeas between your hands in a large bowl of warm water and the skins float to the top of the water Rinsing and agitating the chickpeas two or three times will get most of the skins off.

The second way is to mix one tablespoon of baking soda and to the bowl of rinsed chickpeas. Next, cook the covered chickpeas in the microwave for two minutes. Run cold water over the chickpeas to cool. After cooling, agitate the chickpeas in a bowl of water just as the first method. The baking soda helps the skins release from the chickpeas!

Blending the Hummus

The roasted garlic hummus recipe comes together very quickly. Blend all of the ingredients except for the chickpeas. After the ingredients are blended add the chickpeas. This will help keep the chickpeas form seizing up during blending. Next blend until your desired consistency. You can make your hummus as thick or thin as you like! You should get about 3 cups of hummus from this recipe.
