Ingredients

• 15 ounces Canned chickpeas
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 units Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Pitted green olives
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Parsley leaves

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water to remove excess salt and impurities. Set aside.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine tahini and olive oil. Pulse a few times to blend them together.

Step 3

Add lemon juice, garlic cloves, and half of the green olives to the processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Add chickpeas, ground cumin, and salt to the mixture, and process until the hummus is creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides as necessary to ensure even blending.

Step 5

Slowly add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired hummus consistency. It's important to mix well after each addition.

Step 6

Roughly chop the remaining green olives and parsley leaves, and fold them into the hummus manually with a spatula.

Step 7

Taste the hummus and adjust seasonings as needed. Consider adding more salt, lemon juice, or tahini to suit your taste.

Step 8

Transfer the olive hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with a little olive oil on top, and garnish with additional chopped olives or parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve olive hummus with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or as a spread on sandwiches.
