    Tips for making the best hummus

    • First, start with well-cooked chippersCanning chickpeas yourself yields a superior product and opens the door to creating unique flavors not found in common grocery store cans of chickpeas. I like canning my own which is economical and easy to do. If you would like to give it a try then head on over to my post Canning Chickpeas. If canning is not for you then pick up a few organic canned chickpeas at your local grocery.
    • Next, be sure and purchase good quality tahini. All tahini is not created equal and this is a case, you get what you pay for.
    • Be sure and use freshly squeezed lemon juice, not the kind that comes in a green bottle. It does make a difference!
    • Roast your own garlic. It's easy, just cut the top tips off of a whole garlic bulb, drizzle with a little olive oil and salt then wrap in a foil. Bake for 30 minutes at 300 degrees. Allow to cool, then pinch out the individual cloves.

    What is the best way to cook garlic?

    Roasting your own garlic is easy and mellows out the flavor to a smooth creamy texture. It's perfect in recipes that call for garlic and makes a delicious spread on crackers or toasted bread.

    1. Remove loose outer layer of whole garlic head. Cut off about 1/4 of the tips of the garlic head. Drissel 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the head and seal in foil.
    2. Roast in 350-degree oven for 45 to 60 minutes until soft.
    3. Open garlic pack and squeeze garlic cloves out of the skin 

    What are the benefits of eating roasted garlic?

    • Roasting garlic concentrates the sugars, transforming it into a caramelized, spreadable, buttery texture. The roasting process removes the sharp pungy bite you get with raw garlic.
    • Roasted garlic is easier to digest for many people.
    • It gives sweetness and depth to the dishes you are already making: soups stews, salad dressings, marinades, sauces, and dips.
    • It smells amazing when roasting it in your oven. Your how will smell amazing and make everyone that walks in hungry.
