This hummus recipe was handed down to me by my Syrian grandmother. I took it and tweaked it just a touch by adding roasted garlic, making it my most-requested recipe. I finally made it for my grandma a few months ago, and she said it was incredible — that was my Oscar moment! Even people who don’t like hummus love this recipe. And I’m modest too!
Ingredients
- 5 unpeeled garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
- ½ cup tahini
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Step 2
Place unpeeled garlic cloves in the middle of a large square of aluminum foil. Drizzle cloves with 1 tablespoon olive oil; wrap in foil.
Step 3
Roast in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
Squeeze roasted garlic out of the peels into a food processor. Add garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Process until very creamy.
Tips
Use about 2 to 3 tablespoons of fresh parsley or mint for a fresh herby taste, or try adding 1 teaspoon of curry or paprika. Get crazy — hummus is amazingly versatile!
