1 large head of garlic, 1 teaspoon olive oil
Roughly remove the chickpea skins by rolling them between 2 sheets of paper towel. (This will help with the creaminess. You don’t need to be too picky but it’s worth the extra 2 minutes!)
2-14 ounce cans chickpeas
Reserve a few garlic cloves and chickpeas serving. Then, place the rest of the garlic, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in your blender or food processor and blend until it is mostly smooth, about 3 minutes. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the hummus is super smooth. Taste and add more salt, if needed.
