Seltzer Hummus Recipes

ROASTED-GARLIC HUMMUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place garlic cloves on a small piece of foil, and lightly drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Seal foil to form a pouch, and roast garlic in oven until soft, about 20 minutes. Remove the garlic from the oven, and allow garlic to cool slightly; peel and transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Add the chickpeas, and process until finely chopped.
• Add lemon juice, sesame tahini, water, salt, cayenne pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil, and process until the texture is light and fluffy but not entirely smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in chives, and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve with assorted crudites, if desired.

SELTZER HUMMUS

Steps:

• Use a fine grater to carefully zest the lemon, placing all of the zest in a food processor. A vegetable peeler also can be used, but take care to remove only the thin outer layer of yellow, not the white. Cut the lemon in half and juice it into the processor bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until very smooth. Serve immediately.
