madbakerRoasted Garlic Hummus
2 cans garbanzo beans
1/4 cup tahini
2 Tbsp to 1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 bunch parsley, chopped
2 heads roasted garlic
2 lemons, juiced, and zest of one of the lemons
pinch salt
3-4 Tbsp water
In a fud processor* blend together everything but the water. Whirl for quite a long time. As it's running, add water 1 Tbsp at a time until the texture looks right.
What worked: Much better than commercial hummus. It went very well with pitas (commercial this time - I didn't have the effort to make my own that day), tomato and cucumber.
What didn't: As the cut-tag indicates, I thought it needed more garlic (the heads I used were from our weekly produce box; they were small and young, so I added another small head of unroasted garlic. The wife thought there was plenty of garlicitude though.
Will I make it again? Certainly; it's better and probably better for us than any of the commercial varieties I've tried. I'd like to try it with fresh garbanzos, but I don't know how easy those are to find. I suppose I could soak dried chickpeas for a couple of days instead.
* Fud processors have stronger motors than blenders. If you use a blender, increase the water to 1/2 cup or more; the hummus will be runny, but the motor won't burn out.
