Roasted Garlic Hummus

The other night, Katie and I faced a tough situation: lots of pita bread, and no hummus.
We normally buy hummus from the store. It tastes great, isn't horribly expensive, and makes a great snack or add on to a meal.
Fortunately, a few weeks ago, we had the idea of making our own and purchased a couple cans of chickpeas. The hummus making project was underway.
For some added flavor, I roasted a head of garlic with some olive oil. The garlic slid right out of their skins and blended well with the chickpeas and additional olive oil.

The end result was fantastic. It was much heartier and rich tasting than store bought hummus and leaves so many options for additional flavors (roasted red peppers, jalapenos, curry, etc.).
