Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 15-ounce can chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans) drained, but reserve the liquid
1/3 cup tahini
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1-2 lemons)
2 minced garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
3/4 cup kalamata olives (pitted)
3/4 cup green olives with pimento
Olive oil (smoked paprika, and additional sliced olives for garnish)

Steps:

  • To the bowl of a food processor or high-powered blender, add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pulse, adding the liquid from the beans as needed to keep things moving, until the hummus is very smooth.
  • Add the olives and pulse until chopped. I like to whirr them almost completely in; you may prefer a chunkier hummus. Taste and add additional salt if desired.
  • Scoop into a serving bowl and top with additional sliced olives, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
  • Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

BLACK OLIVE HUMMUS

This is a sesame-free hummus that I make for a friend with allergies. It is a huge hit. You can either use pitted kalamata olives, or for a more intense flavor, you can buy black olive paste at most mediterranean groceries. Marmarabirlik salted black olive paste is my favorite.

BLACK OLIVE HUMMUS

My husband claims store-bought hummus is too gritty so he never liked it. But by adding extra liquids it makes it 'smooth like butta.' Now he's a hummus fan! One can of chickpeas makes so much that what used to be an expensive 'when-it's-on-sale' kind of treat is now a delicious snack I can have anytime!

Tips:

  • If you don't have time to roast your own peppers, you can use jarred roasted red peppers. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the hummus.
  • To make the hummus extra smooth, peel the chickpeas before blending them. You can do this by rubbing them between your fingers or using a vegetable peeler.
  • If you like your hummus spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of sriracha sauce.
  • For a smoky flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the hummus.
  • To make the hummus more garlicky, add an extra clove of garlic or use roasted garlic.
  • Serve the hummus with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables for dipping.
  • Garnish the hummus with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, or a few chopped herbs.

Black olive hummus is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or even a main course. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack, give black olive hummus a try!
