Why Homemade Hummus Wins Every Time
Ever wondered why homemade hummus tastes so much better?
The secret lies in the freshness of the ingredients. When you make hummus at home, you control what goes in.
This means no preservatives, no artificial flavours, just pure, wholesome ingredients.
The result? A chickpea dip that's not only healthier but also packed with more flavour than any store-bought version could ever offer.
Ingredients for Your Roasted Garlic Hummus
Making this delicious garlic hummus is easier than you think. All you need are a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
Here's what you'll need:
- 1 can of chickpeas (or 1.5 cups of cooked chickpeas)
- 1 head of Fave™ Garlic
- 1/4 cup of tahini
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-Step: Crafting the Perfect Hummus
First, you'll need to roast your garlic.
Start by slicing off the top of a whole garlic bulb to expose the cloves.Wrap the bulb in foil and bake at 400°F for about 30 minutes until it's tender and fragrant.
The result is a sweet, caramelised garlic that's perfect for your hummus.
Next, blend your chickpeas with tahini, lemon juice, and the roasted garlic. Add olive oil as you blend to achieve a smooth texture.
Finally, season your hummus with salt, pepper, and cumin. Adjust the flavours to your liking, and voila! Your homemade hummus is ready to enjoy.
Serving Suggestions: Unleash the Mediterranean flavours
Your homemade hummus is versatile and pairs well with a variety of foods. It's perfect as a dip for veggies, pita bread, or crackers.
Veggies: Carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers
Breads: Pita, naan, crusty bread
Others: Crackers, pretzels, tortilla chips
Try it as a spread in sandwiches or wraps for a healthy, flavourful addition.
Tips for a Creamier Hummus
Want a creamier hummus? Try using dried chickpeas instead of canned. Soak them overnight and cook until tender.
Another tip is to blend your hummus for a bit longer. This helps achieve a smoother, creamier texture. Experiment and find what works best for you.
Storing Your Homemade Hummus
Once you've made your hummus, it can be stored in the fridge. Just ensure it's in an airtight container. It should stay fresh for up to a week.
