Introduction

Garlic heavy hummus Garlic heavy hummus
Number of Servings: 14

Ingredients

    15 oz can Simple Truth Garbanzo Beans
    1/4 cup Lemon Juice 'Real Lemon' 100% juice
    1/4 cup Krinos Tahini
    1 Tbsp Kirkland - Minced California Garlic
    2 Tbsp Ottavio Olive Oil
    .5 tsp Diamond Crystal - Kosher Salt
    .5 tsp Cumin seed
    2 Tbsp water

Directions

In the bowl of a food processor, combine tahini and lemon juice. Process for 1 minute. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl then turn on and process for 30 seconds. This extra time helps “whip” or “cream” the tahini, making smooth and creamy hummus possible.
Add the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin and the salt to the whipped tahini and lemon juice mixture. Process for 30 seconds, scrape sides and bottom of bowl then process another 30 seconds.

Adding the Chickpeas
Open can of chickpeas, drain liquid then rinse well with water. Add half of the chickpeas to the food processor then process for 1 minute. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl, add remaining chickpeas and process for 1 to 2 minutes or until thick and quite smooth.

Creating the Perfect Consistency
Most likely the hummus will be too thick or still have tiny bits of chickpea. To fix this, with the food processor turned on, slowly add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water until the consistency is perfect.
