Hummus Recipe – Garlic Flavor

When I was in the Philippines, we always go natural. One time, I used salt as my toothpaste, I never use soap on my face, and I apply this “natural solution “ remedy to my health. I got it from my parents:

If I have cough, I drink plenty of water. If I have a fever, I covered myself with a sheet and stay in a dog position and inhale the steam of a boiling water, and as vitamins, I take a small amount of raw garlic. Mom said it’s good to ward off body cyst, tumor and even lower cholesterol. That time, I just blindly follow what I was told. But somehow, there are some truth to those natural remedy. Looking at my parents, they are very healthy and they look 20 years younger than their age. And I don’t believe it’s due to our race. I am convinced that it’s because of those garlic.

Being here in the US, changed some of those beliefs, but once in a while, I still swallow raw garlic in the morning when my cholesterol number is high.

So when I saw Hummus Garlic Flavor in my store, I know I am making one- to have variation from the usual boring raw garlic. I used Gimme Some Oven.

This is Garlic Hummus is consist of garlic, garbanzo beans, lemon, cumin, oil and water.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS HUMMUS RECIPE:

This is totally simple to make, the ingredients are accessible and it’s garlicky flavor. You can tone the garlic taste by adding lesser cloves, but as you can see, I added about 6 cloves in it. This is how I like it, but it has really strong garlic flavor. If garlic is not your jam, stay with 2 cloves.
Cheap: the Tahini is pricey, about 4 dollars, but you can use it thrice. The Garbanzo is 2 dollars and I have all of the ingredients, so this hummus cost me about $3.00 compared to buying store bought.
Better than store bought: Yup this garlic flavor hummus is better than store bought. It captured the distinct garlic flavor, since homemade means no skimping on ingredients and we can control how our hummus should taste.
Bragging Rights: Now you have the bragging rights that YOU MADE YOUR HUMMUS FROM SCRATCH. This is what I did… when my colleagues what my lunch was, I say Homemade Hummus and they reacted like I am an alien.
Pack with Nutrients: Protein from the beans, vitamins B and C, manganese, selenium, iron, copper and potassium from the garlic, your doctor will be proud of you.
Perfect balance of flavor for my taste and Incredibly creamy
So easy. It will give you the confidence to try something new as it’s very easy to make and the outcome is really delicious.

This Hummus Recipe is easy to follow yields a creamy, delicious nutritious dip.

INGREDIENTS:

1/3 cup good-quality tahini
2–4 tablespoons cold water, add more to adjust the creaminess
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon iodized salt
2 medium or MORE cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
3 tablespoons juice of 1 lemon
1 can (15 ounce) can chickpeas rinsed and drained

Toppings:

Cilantro, Paprika and Olive oil

HOW TO MAKE HUMMUS RECIPE A SUCCESS?

In the instruction, I used processor but if you don’t have one, use these instead:

Use fork to mash the beans
Use nutria bullet
Use the hand mixer
Use the blender. When you are using the blender, make sure that you don’t dump the all of the beans. Add the beans intermittently. Or you can blend the beans one in small batch and remove it, and blend another batch.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Add Tahini, water, olive oil, salt, garlic and lemon juice in the food processor. Adding them first make it easier to coat with the beans. Puree until smooth.
Add in the drained Garbanzo/chickpea. Puree until creamy pausinf halfway to scrape the sides of the bowl. Process until smooth. It it looks thick, add in water.
Taste and season with additional salt, cumin, and/or lemon juice if needed.
Garnish with oil, cilantro or paprika.

What do you serve it with?

Dip for Raw Veggies: My afternoon snack is raw carrots and hummus. It’s a healthy snack and staves off the cravings until dinner.
Wrap: I use it as spread for my hummus wrap. Place tortilla on a flat surface and put lettuce on top. Spread the hummus and add in your favorite veggie. Roll wrap like burrito. (coming soon)
Use it as toppings to your Everything Bagel Seasoning, which I thought enhanced the flavor.
Use this on burgers and sandwiches. Use this as spread on the bread instead of the usual ketchup and mustard.
Salads: add in extra juice, oil and water. Just pour into your favorite salad.
Mixed with pasta. Make the Hummus thinner with water and you can use as pasta sauce.
I dunk it with my homemade flat bread.

What’s the difference between Garbanzo and Chickpea?

Garbanzo and chickpea are the same. They are the same beans, they are called differently in different cultures. Garbanzo came from the Spanish speaking beans eaters, and chick pea is a common English term. Garbanzo and Chickpea are used to make Greek dip, Hummus, and they term it cicer.

TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST HUMMUS:

Loved the recipe. I added two garlic cloves and more paprika since I like more kick. Added lukewarm water instead of cold water and it tasted amazing!
Fresh Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice is better than the bottles ones, so get that one lemon. It’s only 78 cents and the taste is so much better. It’s worth it.
Canned Garbanzo. Sure you can use fresh Garbanzo, but since we are busy we use the can ones. Rinse completely and pat dry with paper towel to remove excess oil.
Follow the order of the instruction – adding them ahead will make the processor messy, but adding the smaller ingredients turns them into a sauce which make it easier to coat with the beans. So add Tahini, water, olive oil, salt, garlic and lemon juice in the food processor first and then add the beans.

CAN YOU FREEZE HUMMUS?

Yes you can freeze hummus up to 3 months, but you have to freeze it in smaller batch. If you can try to consume it quickly as freezing changes the texture and taste of the Hummus
Use a freezer safe container. Make sure that the container is safe to prevent flavor contamination from the surrounding freezer odors.
Preserve flavor: Add a small amount thin layer of olive oil on top. Don’t add too much that the oil will change the flavor of the hummus when thawed.
Thaw and stir when ready to consume.
