Hummus love

In our home hummus is and has been a family staple forever. We love our dips, and at any given meal you will see 5 or 6 different dips or toppings to compliment our dinner. Perhaps it's our French Canadian heritage and our great love for ketchup..;) All we know is that delicious dips such as this hummus, is a necessity for our eating pleasure. Our mama's favourite go to snack is hummus and cherry tomatoes. After our garlic was harvested we were all very excited to get back into the hummus making groove. It's cheaper and not full of all those secret ingredients, and always tastes wayyy better. : )





















































Charlotte's Roasted Garlic Hummus

2 cans of chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
2 Tbsp of sesame oil (or 3 Tbsp of tahini)
1 bulb of roasted garlic*
1 tsp of onion powder
Juice of 1 lemon
2 Tbs of olive oil

Blend all ingredients in a food processor, including the entire bulb of roasted garlic. Process until smooth. If hummus is too thick, add a tbsp of water at a time until desired consistency.
Enjoy! Yum!





























*to roast a bulb of garlic:
Preheat oven to 375'F
First place your pealed garlic cloves in the middle of a square piece of tinfoil and drizzle with olive oil. Place your finger in the center of the square, and wrap the foil around the garlic. You should a have a foil pouch with a little spout. Roast in oven for 30-40 min.
