Black Garlic Hummus
Black Garlic Hummus
You haven’t lived until you’ve tried black garlic in hummus! Okay, that may be a bit dramatic, but hear us out. Black garlic is a little umami, a little sweet, a lot sultry and definitely levels UP a bowl of hummus.
The usual hummus suspects can be found here … chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, but we like to put a wow factor into our recipes. A hefty dose of black garlic along with some garam masala and a taste of maple syrup to round out the flavor - BAM, yummus hummus.
INGREDIENTS:
1 15oz. can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 bulbs black garlic, clove wrappers removed
1-2 cloves raw garlic (out of fresh? use 1/2 teaspoon of our Raw Garlic Powder instead)
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (our Black Garlic Salt adds some punch here)
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
3 tablespoons olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a food processor, pulse together chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, black garlic, garlic, maple syrup, sea salt, and garam masala until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides.
While food processor is mixing, drizzle olive oil in through the chute. Check consistency and add a little water to thin if desired.
HUMMUS USES:
This can be used in so many ways! Here are our faves:
Served on a charcuterie board with veggies and crackers
Put into a quesadilla with salsa (the hummus gets all melty and is delish!)
Stirred into pasta
Spread on sandwiches or toast
Thinned with water and used like salad dressing
Slathered into tortilla or collard green wraps
