Fixing excessively garlicky hummus?

[stephaniek1985]

Hey there! I made some hummus the other day and it is just WAY too garlicky. And I say this as a person who has never encountered what seems like too much garlic--I love it, and tons of it. But this hummus is just too overpowering, even for me. I added another can of chickpeas, but that didn't help. So now I have a large batch of hummus that is way

It seems to me, and I could be wrong, that adding more lemon juice would tone down the garlic.

Also, maybe you could mix your hummus in some mashed potatoes. That sounds like it'd be fabulous.

Or you could eat your hummus in a sandwich or something that would mask/compliment the excess garlic.

I've done that. Try cooking the hummus a little. it should cook the garlic and make it less spicy.

Heat it up.

Adding parsley might neutralise the garlic a bit.

Next time you make hummus oven roast the garlic before you put it in, that will give your hummus a wonderful garlic taste.
