Hummus with olives
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
For hummus with olives, drain the chickpeas from the can and rinse them in a sieve under running water.
- 2
Peel and press the garlic cloves, squeeze the juice from the lemon, and finely chop the black olives.
Blending
- 3
Put the chickpeas, tahini, pressed garlic and lemon juice into a blender and blend into a thick mass.
- 4
While blending, add ice-cold water and olive oil a spoonful at a time until the mixture turns creamy and fluffy.
TIP:While blending, add ice-cold water in small increments. Cold water will help emulsify and preserve a fresh flavor, yielding a smooth, silky paste.
- 5
Stir in the ground cumin, salt and most of the chopped olives, blend briefly again and taste.
Serving
- 6
Spread the finished hummus into a bowl, scatter the remaining olives on top, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with ground sweet paprika and parsley.
More tips:
Chop the olives finely so they spread evenly through the hummus.
Use pitted olives to speed up the preparation.
