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
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!

CORIANDER AND GREEN OLIVE HUMMUS RECIPE
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 .

- Add the ingredients gradually: Start with a small amount of tahini, lemon juice, and garlic, and then add more to taste.
- Serve the hummus with a variety of toppings: Some popular toppings include olive oil, paprika, chopped parsley, and toasted pine nuts.
Conclusion:
Hummus is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a dip, spread, or sandwich filling. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own hummus at home. Experiment with different flavors and toppings to find your perfect hummus recipe.
