Hummus With Roasted Garlic Recipes

ROASTED-GARLIC HUMMUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place garlic cloves on a small piece of foil, and lightly drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Seal foil to form a pouch, and roast garlic in oven until soft, about 20 minutes. Remove the garlic from the oven, and allow garlic to cool slightly; peel and transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Add the chickpeas, and process until finely chopped.
• Add lemon juice, sesame tahini, water, salt, cayenne pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil, and process until the texture is light and fluffy but not entirely smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in chives, and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve with assorted crudites, if desired.

ROASTED GARLIC HUMMUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the loose papery outside skin from the garlic heads, but keep the cloves intact. Cut about 1/2 inch from top. Place the garlic cloves each in a piece of foil that's large enough to wrap around. Lightly drizzle with olive oil. Close the foil up. Bake in heated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the garlic is very soft. Remove from heat and let cool briefly, then peel.
• In the bowl of a food processor, fitted with a blade, place the roasted garlic, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and water. Sprinkle salt, sumac and cayenne. Blend until smooth. Be sure to add a little more water as needed, until you achieve desired smooth texture. You can also add a little more lemon juice to your taste. Taste and adjust for salt and spices.
• Spread the roasted garlic hummus in a bowl. Add a generous drizzle of quality extra virgin olive oil. Top with za'atar spice, and if you like, parsley, toasted pine nuts, and crumbled feta.
• Serve with warm pita bread or toasted crostini and assorted vegetables. Enjoy!

CREAMY ROASTED GARLIC HUMMUS

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Serve at room temperature with crudites, warm pita or crackers.
• Optional: Sprinkle with chopped parsley or paprika before serving.

• Split pita rounds and cut into quarters. Place on a baking sheet.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place garlic on aluminum foil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until jammy.
• In a small saucepan on low heat, combine the rest of your olive oil with your rosemary. Bring to a low bubble and take off the heat, allowing the flavors to marry. Discard rosemary stalks.
• In a blender, combine your chickpeas, tahini, half the rosemary olive oil and squeeze out your jammy garlic flesh.
• Gradually add in the rest of the olive oil as the blender is on, looking for that smooth and creamy consistency. Season accordingly with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
