This chickpea dip is made with an entire head of roasted garlic. Topping it with za’atar adds a Middle Eastern touch of dried herbs, sesame seeds, and salt.

2 cups

Ingredients

2 cups chickpeas cooked or canned, rinsed and drained

1 head garlic, roasted and puréed

¼ cup warm water

2 Tbsp tahini

1 lemon, juiced

¼ tsp kosher salt

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil for serving

Chopped parsley for garnish

Za’atar for garnish

Paprika for garnish

Method

Combine the chickpeas, garlic, warm water, tahini, lemon juice, and salt in a food processor. Puree until smooth and light. Adjust the consistency by adding either a little water or lemon juice. The hummus can be prepared up to this point, and then stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Serve the hummus at room temperature drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with parsley, paprika, and/or za’atar. Accompany the hummus with crudités, pita or other flatbreads, or crackers.
