    Hummus is and always will be my everything. I am eating is almost every day, either as the classical dip or I put it on sandwiches. Sometimes I also tend to just stick a spoon into one of the colourful mason jars that I always have waiting for me in the fridge. It actually happens embarrassingly often since it is a very nice post workout snack. That only applies though when you made it yourself and it is free from excessive amounts of oil and other unnecessary ingredients. This brightly coloured wild garlic hummus takes healthy eating to a whole new level since wild garlic is on its way to becoming the next potent agent for preventing and relieving the symptoms of ageing and age-associated diseases. 

    Wild Garlic Hummus

    I have posted a few hummus recipes before like the sun dried tomato hummus or the beetroot hummus but this is one of my favourites. It is probably due to the sheer fact that it is only possible to make with fresh ingredients during early spring. While the chickpeas and tahini are available all year round the wild garlic is only present during a few short weeks from March until April. I have made it before with frozen wild garlic and while it does work it doesn't taste nearly as good as this.

    Wild Garlic Hummus

    The herby taste and sharpness of the wild garlic make this hummus a version with very few ingredients but brilliant taste. The leafy garlic adds so much flavour. So grab a basket and head to the markets and get a few bunches of wild garlic - or even better, go pick it yourself and give this delicious wild garlic hummus a try.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 225 g cooked chickpeas or canned
    • 50 g wild garlic roughly chopped, tightly packed if measured in cups
    • 1 ½ tablespoon lemon juice
    • 2 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 teaspoon tahini
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
    • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions
     

    • If you use canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them. Pour the chickpeas into a food processor and blend until you get a dough-like consistency.

    • Add the remaining ingredients except for the red pepper flakes and process the hummus to desired consistency. Depending on your food processor and the chickpeas you might need to add an extra spoon of oil, or water if you prefer.

    • Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and serve instantly or chill in the fridge.

    Notes

    This wild garlic hummus keeps well for up to 4 days if stored in an airtight container and is placed in the fridge because it contains a good amount of lemon which serves as natural preservative.

        Yes you can. I am actually writing the post on freezing wild garlic right now. A small recap: You can freeze them as they are or chop them finely...but you can also dehydrate them. Which is another post coming up in a couple of days. =)

        No you don't have to. You could try using the green part of spring onions as replacement for the wild garlic and add one clove of garlic as replacement.

        I assume you mean the wild garlic? Getting the exact same taste is tricky. You could substitute it with the green part of spring onions or leeks and add a clove of minced garlic. =) - G

      This sounds incredible!! Where do you find wild garlic? Do you forage it- and what do you look for when you do? Or are these like garlic scapes? I'm definitely trying it this spring (can't wait for fresh ingredients again!!!!)

        Hello Greta, I actually forage for wild garlic and wrote a post about that topic as well. https://thegreedyvegan.com/identifying-picking-wild-garlic/ It is fairly easy to spot and very easy to pick. I never tried this recipe with garlic scapes but I see no reason why they shouldn't work. =D - Love, G.
