Bet you didn't think traditional low FODMAP hummus was possible? Well, this low FODMAP recipe is going to blow your mind! We recapture the garlic flavour by using low FODMAP garlic infused oil and a safe serve of tahini gives this recipe that authentic hummus flavour. Also the trick to ultra silky smooth hummus is to whip your tahini first and spend a few minutes shelling your chickpeas before you use them.
Low FODMAP Note On Chickpeas: According to Monash University canned chickpeas are low FODMAP in 1/4 cup (42g) serves. This is because the oligosaccharides in the chickpeas leach in the water, lowering the FODMAP content of the chickpeas. Just make sure you wash and drain them well before using. The chickpeas are within low FODMAP guidelines when you divide the recipe into 8 servings.

Garlic infused oil is normally found in the oil section of your local supermarket or you can buy it online. It should be clear with no floating bits of garlic.
You can also make garlic infused oil at home by frying garlic cloves in cooking oil until they are golden and fragrant, then remove and discard the garlic before you continue cooking your meal. This is a low FODMAP way to capture the garlic flavour as the fructans can't leach into the oil.
