This is a fancied-up version of hummus. Kalamata olives whip into a silky smooth hummus while complementing the earthiness of tahini and chickpeas—a charming take on an already fantastic spread. —MR
SERVES 4 TO 6
¾ cup (135 g) Kalamata olives
1 (14-oz [397-g]) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp (18 g) tahini
¼ cup (60 ml) water
1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
½ tsp ground cumin
1 clove garlic
½ tsp salt
Simply place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and mix until creamy. Taste to see if you would like to add more salt or water to make it a thinner, creamier hummus.
