I love wild garlic as much as I love hummus and mushrooms (not a great idea to leave them behind), so it was an obvious choice from me to try out wild garlic hummus! This fresh green wild garlic hummus is a special seasonal spring treat, and believe me it works amazingly well, simply replacing garlic with it's wild counterpart. This variation of a basic hummus recipe replaces the regular garlic with wild garlic. The wild garlic leaves add an amazingly fresh taste and bright green colour to the creamy hummus texture.

Instructions

Step 1

If you use canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them. Chickpea skins are edible, but if you want a creamy hummus, peel the chiackpeas. Take a handful of chickpeas into a food processor and blend until you get a smooth consistency. With the food processor running, drop in wild garlic and spinach in through the feed tube to chop fine (add the ingredients into a blender if you don't have a food processor). Stop the processor and add tahini, salt, cumin, fresh lime juice and olive oil, let the food processor run for 4 to 5 minutes so the hummus mixture will blend well enough to a smooth texture, test, and if needed, add a bit salt and hot water. Scrap the walls of the food processor several times in between to make sure you will obtain the nice silky smooth consistency. If needed add more water.
