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.

CORIANDER AND GREEN OLIVE HUMMUS RECIPE



Coriander and Green Olive Hummus Recipe image

This is my favourite hummus recipe that I have developed as of late. The green olives work well to add a slightly salty note to the hummus. The way I make hummus uses less oil so I can feel less guilty about enjoying my favourite dish. Coriander is known in the States as cilantro. I came up with this recipe for my vegetarian food blog at wwww.weekendcarnivore.com .

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas, drained but the liquid reserved
1/4 cup tahini

1/3 cup fresh coriander
1/3 cup green olives, pitted
fresh ground pepper, to taste
sea salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Put the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, coriander and olives into a blender or food processor. I use my mini chopper to make it extra easy.
  • Blitz in short bursts, pushing the mixture down when needed until everything is combined.
  • Add a little bit of the reserved bean liquid and blitz again. Add more if you need more to get to the hummus texture you desire.
  • Serve in a bowl topped with olives.

GREEN OLIVE AND CORIANDER RELISH

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Food Processor     Olive     No-Cook     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Summer     Chill     Coriander     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon coriander seeds
a 9 1/2-ounce jar green olives (about 2 cups), rinsed and pitted
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
pita loaves, cut into wedges, as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • In a food processor grind coarse the coriander seeds, add the olives, the vinegar, and the oil, and blend the mixture until the olives are chopped fine. Let the relish stand, covered and chilled, overnight. The relish may be made 3 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Serve the relish at room temperature with pita wedges.

Tips:

  • When choosing coriander, look for leaves that are a vibrant green color and free from any yellowing or wilting. Fresh coriander should have a pungent, citrusy aroma.
  • To prepare the coriander, remove the leaves from the stems and roughly chop them. Be sure to wash the coriander thoroughly before using it.
  • If you don't have green olives on hand, you can substitute them with another type of olive, such as Kalamata or black olives.
  • For a smoother hummus, peel the chickpeas before blending them. You can do this by gently rubbing them between your fingers.
  • Tahini is a key ingredient in hummus, so be sure to use a good quality brand. If you can't find tahini at your local grocery store, you can make your own by blending roasted sesame seeds with a little bit of oil.
  • Serve the hummus with your favorite dippers, such as pita bread, vegetables, or crackers.

Conclusion:

This coriander and green olive hummus is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or even as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack, give this hummus a try!
