Ingredients

Scale

Hummus Ingredients

  • 15 oz (400 g) olives, pitted (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 15 oz (400 g) can chickpeas, drained
  • 23 tablespoons tahini
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • Pinch of salt
  • 12 garlic cloves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure the olives are pitted and the canned chickpeas are drained to avoid excess moisture in the hummus.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Transfer olives, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, water, salt, and optional garlic cloves into a blender or food processor.
  3. Process Until Creamy: Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides as needed for an even consistency.
  4. Adjust Seasoning and Consistency: Taste the hummus and add more salt, olive oil, or water if you prefer a thinner or more flavorful dip.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with extra olive oil, and garnish with additional pitted olives. Serve with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • For a smoother hummus, peel the chickpeas before blending.
  • If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, reduce the amount or omit the garlic cloves.
  • Use a good-quality olive oil for best flavor.
  • Store hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice if you desire a tangier taste.
