Time 1h5m

Yield 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups canned chick-peas or 2 cups cooked chickpeas
2 tablespoons tahini
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup warm water
1 large head of garlic
1 lemon, juice of
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

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.

Creamy Hummus image

Provided by Food Network

Time 15m

Yield 8 servings (makes about 4 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup tahini
4 cloves garlic
Kosher salt
1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for serving
Sweet or hot paprika, for dusting
For serving: pita chips and cut vegetables

Steps:

Drain the chickpeas, reserving the can liquid and then rinse. Set aside a few whole chickpeas for garnish.
Put the lemon juice, tahini, garlic and 2 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process, scraping down the sides of the bowl about halfway through, until thick and very smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chickpeas in 2 additions, processing until smooth after each addition. With the food processor running, slowly pour in the oil until the mixture is creamy. If the hummus is too thick, adjust the consistency by adding the reserved can liquid a few tablespoons at a time. Season with more salt if desired.
Spread out the hummus in a shallow serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Dust with paprika and garnish with the reserved chickpeas. Serve with pita chips and vegetables for dipping.
