Garlic-Free Hummus

It is IMPOSSIBLE to buy hummus at the store that does not have garlic or onion in the ingredients. I make it a mission to find ways to replace my old favorites with as good or better safe recipes, and this hummus recipe is quick and better than any store bought I can recall! Truffle oil adds the garlic flavor in this recipe.

Blend in food processor:
1 can drained garbanzo beans
6 Tbsp Tahini
Fresh squeezed juice of 5 medium lemons (Meyer if available)
5 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Black Truffle Oil (more or less to taste)
Salt and cracked black pepper to taste

If your mixture is to thick, I prefer adding more lemon juice as opposed to oil- the flavor of the beans and tahini can be masked by too much oil.

Dash smoked paprika or cumin to sprinkle on top
Cilantro for garnish

Serve with cut up veggies

Hummus Variations

There are infinite possibilities to expand on this basic recipe- add sun dried tomatoes, black olives, loads of black pepper. Each time we make it the hummus comes out somewhat differently but always tasty!
