OLIVE HUMMUS



Olive Hummus image

Salty kalamatas and pimento-stuffed green olives lend a little pizzazz to plain ol' hummus.

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



Black Olive Hummus image

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.
