Garlic hummus is a delectable and versatile dip that combines the rich, nutty flavor of chickpeas with the pungent and aromatic essence of garlic. As a proud supplier of 1000g garlic, I'm excited to share with you a detailed guide on how to make this mouthwatering garlic hummus using our high - quality product.
Ingredients
- 1000g of our premium garlic
- 2 cans (about 400g each) of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup of tahini
- 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
- 2 - 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1/2 cup of water (adjust as needed)
- Paprika and extra olive oil for garnish
Step - by - Step Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Garlic
First, take your 1000g of garlic. If you're using our Frozen Peeled Garlic, you're in luck as the peeling is already done for you. Simply thaw the garlic at room temperature for about 30 minutes. If you have fresh garlic, you'll need to peel all the cloves. This can be a time - consuming process, but the end result is worth it. Place the peeled garlic cloves in a small saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the garlic cook for about 10 - 15 minutes until it becomes tender. This step helps to mellow the strong flavor of the garlic. Drain the cooked garlic and set it aside.
Step 2: Combine the Base Ingredients
In a food processor, add the drained and rinsed chickpeas. Pulse a few times to break them down slightly. Then, add the cooked garlic cloves, tahini, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and ground cumin to the food processor. Start the food processor and let it run for a few minutes. The ingredients will begin to blend together, but it may seem a bit thick at first.
Step 3: Adjust the Consistency
Slowly add water to the food processor while it's running. Start with a small amount, about 1/4 cup, and then add more as needed. The goal is to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Keep processing until the hummus is well - blended and has a texture that you're happy with. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula a few times to ensure all the ingredients are incorporated evenly.
Step 4: Taste and Season
Once the hummus has reached the desired consistency, stop the food processor and taste the hummus. If it needs more salt, add a little bit at a time and then process again to blend it in. You can also add more lemon juice for a tangier flavor or a bit more cumin for a spicier kick.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Transfer the garlic hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle some extra olive oil over the top and sprinkle a bit of paprika for color and added flavor. You can serve the hummus with pita bread, vegetable sticks like carrots, celery, and cucumber, or even use it as a spread on sandwiches.
