- 1 can 400g chickpeas (or 250g cooked chickpeas)
- 1-2 handfuls fresh wild garlic Bärlauch, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp tahini sesame paste
- 2 tbsp olive oil plus extra for drizzling
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin or smoked paprika for extra flavor
Rinse and drain the chickpeas if using canned. For a creamier hummus, remove the skins of the chickpeas (optional).
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, chopped wild garlic, tahini, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice.
Blend until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add a small amount of water or more olive oil until you reach your desired texture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. For an extra depth of flavor, you can also add ground cumin or smoked paprika.
Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with extra olive oil. Serve with crackers, pita, or fresh vegetables.
- Wild garlic (Bärlauch) is usually available in the spring. If it’s hard to find, you can substitute it with spinach or arugula for a similar leafy green flavor, but it won’t have the same aromatic wild garlic taste.
- To make the hummus even creamier, you can blend in some cooked potatoes or add more tahini.
- Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- This hummus can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
