Ingredients

  • 1 bulb garlic
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Small pinch of salt
  • 14 ounces (400 grams) chickpeas/garbanzo beans
  • ½ cup (27 grams) sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • ¼ cup (65 grams) sesame tahini
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 basil leaves
  • cup (78 ml) light flavor olive oil
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C.
  • Cut off the stem of the head of garlic just to expose the cloves.
  • Lay a piece of foil flat (large enough to wrap the garlic) and set the garlic head in the center, cut side up. Drizzle with a vegetable oil and small pinch of salt.
  • Wrap the garlic in the foil, place on a baking sheet and roast in the pre-heated oven for 30 minutes.
  • When the garlic is done, remove from the oven, open the foil and allow to cool
  • To a food processor add the chickpeas, 3 roasted garlic cloves, sun-dried tomatoes, sun-dried tomato oil, tahini, basil, salt and pepper. Pulse until everything starts to combine.
  • While the processor is running, drizzle in the olive oil and blend until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add a little warm water. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with more oil and top with toasted sesame seeds and chopped parsley.
