Instructions
If you do not have pre-roasted garlic, use this shortcut. Put garlic cloves with the skin still on in a nonstick skillet and heat over medium low heat. Roasting the garlic will take approximately 40 minutes. Rotate the cloves every 10-15 minutes so that they are roasted on all sides. Set aside to cool.
When garlic is cool enough to handle, peel the skins off the cloves.
Add the garbanzo beans, garlic, lemon juice, salt, tahini, and olive oil to food processor. Put the lid on and process until you reach your desired consistency, approximately 10-15 seconds. If the mixture is too thick, add water 1 Tbsp at a time and process briefly to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
When complete, use a spatula to put the hummus in a bowl. Using a spoon, make a spiral pattern indentation in the hummus. Pour the hummus into this groove to create the spiral effect. Alternatively, mix in the pesto completely to the hummus.
Refrigerate for one hour and serve chilled with pita bread or assorted vegetables.
