This hummus is so good on warm pita triangles or even with cucumbers, radishes, carrots and/or green onions. The combination of ingredients really makes this hummus bi tahini a truly wonderful Mediterranean dish. I may never eat plain hummus again. This recipe was inspired and created for RSC #7.

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.

Tips:

  • To make a smooth and creamy hummus, use a food processor or high-powered blender.
  • Soak the chickpeas overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking them. This will help them cook more evenly and quickly.
  • If you don't have time to soak the chickpeas, you can boil them for 1 hour, or until they are tender.
  • Use good quality Kalamata olives for the best flavor. Look for olives that are plump and have a deep purple color.
  • Add a little bit of lemon juice to taste. Lemon juice helps to brighten the flavor of the hummus and balance out the richness of the tahini.
  • Serve the hummus with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or dip.
