At Sincere Scribbles, we love adding regional flavor to traditional recipes, and our Classic Garlic Hummus is no exception. This hummus recipe is packed with the bold, fresh flavor of garlic and a dash of Southern seasoning to make it extra special.
Equipment
- 1 food processor
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chickpeas (save 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid)
- 3 tbsp minced or fresh diced garlic (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/2 cup smooth tahini
- 2 1/4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 1/2 tbsp Badia Complete seasoning blend
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup reserved chickpea cooking liquid
Instructions
- Blend the ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, 3 tbsp minced garlic, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, onion powder, Badia Complete seasoning, salt, black pepper, and the 1/2 cup reserved chickpea cooking liquid.
- Blend until smooth: Blend everything together until you reach a smooth and creamy consistency. If the mixture seems too thick, add more of the chickpea cooking liquid, a tablespoon at a time, until you achieve your desired texture.
- Taste and adjust: Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more salt, garlic, or lemon juice based on your preference.
- Garnish: Scoop the hummus into a serving bowl and top it with an extra spoonful of minced garlic. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top for added richness.
- Serve: Serve this flavorful garlic hummus with pita bread, crackers, or fresh veggies like carrots and celery. It's also a great spread for sandwiches or wraps!
