Roasted Garlic Hummus Recipe

Perfecting Childhood Nostalgia

Hummus played a central role in my childhood meals, and I still appreciate it today. Yes, you can say hummus was a big part of my upbringing! I was lucky to spend my formative years in southwest Sydney, an area bustling with a vibrant Turkish community. This exposed me to the incredible world of Turkish cuisine from a young age.

Mouthwatering salads like Tabbouleh were frequent, and we frequently enjoyed hummus with our beloved toasted Turkish bread as a go-to snack. The rich and authentic flavors of traditional hummus have always captivated and thrilled my taste buds.

In the UK, hummus isn’t as popular as it is in Australia. Although it’s easy to find in the supermarket, it is almost watery in both texture and taste, not like the stuff from back home at all! Thankfully, I have my own easy hummus recipe to get me by! This recipe is full of rich flavours, and free from preservatives and additives like the hummus you find in store.

My recipe is made using ingredients that are more traditional (almost), which are essential to provide that intense, full flavour hummus is known for.

My Ingredients

For this recipe, I do use tinned chickpeas as I find they don’t have too much of a negative impact on the flavour. And given this recipe is meant to be easy? Tinned chickpeas is the way to go. However, it is essential to use full-fat tahini. I’ve tried using the low-fat options, and they simply don’t work.

I love serving this recipe alongside whipped feta, as the two dips work tremendously well together, and also my gluten-free tabbouleh. Both have indulgent Mediterranean flavours, and the zesty flavours of the whipped feta compliment the nuttiness of this dip perfectly.
