| 1. Soak chickpeas overnight in 10 cups of cold water. | 2. Drain the peas, rinse, and transfer to a large pot. | 3. Add the other 10 cups of water, baking powder and bring to a boil. | 4. Reduce to low and cook uncovered for 2 hours or until peas are soft enough to crush in your hand. | 5. Remove from heat and let stand for 40 minutes. | 6. Strain, reserving liquid for later. | 7. Place peas to a food processor adding the tahini, 3 tablespoons olive oil, cumin, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. | 8. Puree into a smooth paste. | 9. If the paste is to thick add a little more cooking liquid. | 10. Add salt to taste. | 11. In a small pot, place garlic and remaining 1/2 cup oil. | 12. Cook covered over low heat for 30 minutes (careful not to burn), or until soft. | 13. Transfer the garlic to a small bowl and crush with a fork until the texture is a course paste. | 14. Add salt and pepper to taste. | 15. Spread hummus on a plate and top with roasted garlic. | 16. Serve with fresh bread, focaccia or pita. | 17. *It does not sound like you are to use the oil for making this into a paste. So I'd save the infused oil for other cooking or maybe roast the garlic first then use 3 tablespoons of infused oil when this goes into the processor in Step 7. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
