Green Olive Hummus Recipes

OLIVE HUMMUS

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.

5-MINUTE OLIVE HUMMUS

Steps:

• Blend garbanzo beans, olives, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, basil, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a food processor or blender until smooth.

HUMMUS WITH OLIVES AND PEPPERONCINI

Steps:

• Place all ingredients EXCEPT THE WATER AND THE SALT in the bowl of a food processor and process until the mixture is a thick paste.
• With the food processor running, add the hot water a bit at a time, until the mixture is the consistency you want it to be (some like it thicker than others -- ).
• Taste the hummus. The pepperoncini brine will have made it a bit salty. If you'd like more salt, add it 1/8 of a teaspoon at a time until it is salty enough for your tastes.
• If you are serving immediately, place in a bowl and make a hollow in the middle of the hummus. Drizzle on 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika and parsley.

CORIANDER AND GREEN OLIVE HUMMUS RECIPE

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.
