Tangy Hummus With Roasted Garlic Recipe

Ingredients

6 large garlic cloves, unpeeled

4 tablespoons of olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon (for garlic)

2 15-oz cans of chickpeas, drained

Juice of 4 lemons

4 tablespoons sesame tahini

4 tablespoons water

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon Hungarian paprika

Preparation

In a small skillet, heat the 1 teaspoon of olive oil and saute the garlic cloves until softened, ten minutes. (Or, place cloves on a small square of foil, drizzle with oil, and roast in 400-degree oven for 20 minutes.) Cool slightly and peel.

Add garlic and remaining ingredients to the bowl of a food processor, and process till smooth.

Hummus will thicken in refrigerator; stir in additional water if necessary. Serve with toasted pita or fresh vegetables.
