BLACK GARLIC HUMMUS

SERVES: 4-6

PREP TIME: 10 minutes (plus 1 hour resting time)

INGREDIENTS

1 400g tin chickpeas 

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp tahini

Juice of 1 lemon

Pinch of salt

2 tsp The Original Black Garlic Paste

Ground cumin to garnish

METHOD

Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then place them in a bowl and microwave until warm (about 1–2 minutes). This helps create a smoother, creamier hummus.

Transfer the warm chickpeas to a food processor. Add the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Blitz until smooth and creamy.

Spoon the hummus back into a bowl, stir in the black garlic paste, and mix well. Let it rest at room temperature for about an hour to allow the flavours to develop.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of ground cumin before serving.
