Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- 1 head of garlic
- Olive Oil
- Garbanzo Beans (15 oz)
- Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/4 tablespoon lemon juice
- Flat-leaf parsley
-
Step 1
Cut the top 1/2 inch from an entire head of garlic to expose the cloves inside. Drizzle it with olive oil, and wrap in foil. Roast in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.
-
Step 2
Remove the garlic from the oven, and let it cool. Squeeze the soft flesh into the work bowl of your food processor.
-
Step 3
Add beans, olive oil, parsley, and lemon juice to food processor, Add hot pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
-
Step 4
Pulse on slow until mixture starts to come together. If the mixture is too thick, alternate adding oil and water a half-teaspoon at a time. Using the water will keep the flavor of the hummus intact, and the oil won't become overpowering. Store up to 3 days.
