Ingredients

1 head garlic
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 can 15 ounces chickpeas, drained
1/2 cup tahini 100 % sesame seed paste, not tahini sauce
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon kosher coarse salt, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Slice off the top of the garlic head so that all the cloves are exposed. Place the garlic on a square of aluminum foil, and pour the 1 tablespoon oil over the exposed cloves. Twist the foil tight, and roast for 40 minutes. Open the foil and let the garlic cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
Combine the 1/4 cup vegetable oil and all the remaining ingredients in a food processor. When it is cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic out of the cloves and add it to the other ingredients. Process until smooth.
