Roasted Garlic Hummus

I made this hummus for a ward Christmas party for like 200 people. Making that quantity is a bit tricky because I tend to be a "little of this, little of that" type of a cook. So keeping flavors consistent and still delicious gets hard. However, no matter how many variations of this recipe that I made, it turned out delicious every single time! People raved about it and lots of people asked for the recipe...that's the mark of a quality recipe in my book! I love that this recipe can be flavored to hit preferences...some people like a bit more garlic while others love the cumin. It's really a "choose your own adventure" recipe that works great when you add more/less of the things that you like and don't like. Enjoy!!

1 large head roasted garlic - I have used regular garlic in a pinch and it's still delicious!
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 15oz can chick peas, drained and rinsed
3 Tbsp lemon juice
3 Tbsp tahini paste
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, minced
2-3 Tbsp water Garnish: Fresh Parsley, minced
Drizzle of olive oil

Sprinkle of paprika In a food processor, add chick peas, lemon juice, tahini paste, salt, cumin, and rosemary...pulse for about 60 seconds. Scrape down sided and bottom of food processor, add roasted garlic and turn on blender. Slowly add the olive oil and then add water a little at a time in order to get your desired consistency. To serve, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with desired garnishes. Serve with fresh pita, naan, pita chips, and/or fresh veggies. Enjoy!!
