I double-checked with my dad and yeah, that is genuinely the amount of garlic he adds (like ten cloves).
I've never noticed that it's overwhelmingly garlicy, and you are adding it to a fair amount of beans, but if you wanna start off with like 1/3 or 1/2 a bulb and crank it up later you have my permission.
Recipe?
Sorry this took a while, I had to run down my dad and get it straight from the source:
Ingredients:
30 oz. (two 15 oz. cans) garbanzo beans/chickpeas/ceci beans
Juice of 1 lemon (approx. 1 and ½ tablespoons)
½ cup tahini
1 head garlic
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
½ to 1 cup light olive oil
¼ cup chopped parsley
Assembly:
Drain liquid from garbanzo bean cans and place beans in a food processor.
Add lemon juice, tahini, and peeled garlic cloves.
Add salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
Blend in food processor.
After ingredients are mostly blended, add olive oil by drizzling into food processor while it is running.
When mixture is smooth and well-blended, transfer to a large bowl and stir in chopped parsley.
Serve at room temp with whatever you like dipping in hummus.
Thanks for this! A whole HEAD of garlic though? I love garlic but it's not too overpowering?

Respect to your dad, honestly. I'll have to give it a go.
