Ingredients
- 2 cups chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans)
- 20 kalamata olives (or other olive variety)
- 1/4 cup Tahini (optional. See notes for alternatives.)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (juice of 2 good size lemons)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (omit for mild, increase for spicier)
- 1 teaspoon salt (plus more if needed, omit if using canned or salted chickpeas)
- 1/2 cup olive oil (extra-virgin recommended. More for topping as desired.)
- chopped cilantro or parsley (optional for garnish)
- baking soda (optional for super creamy hummus)
Instructions
- If using canned chickpeas, rinse and drain.
- Peel chickpeas if desired.
- Blend all ingredients except olive oil and salt.
- Blend in the olive oil, being careful not to over blend. Olive oil will go from fruity to bitter if over blended.
- Taste and add salt as needed. If using the kalamata olives and canned chickpeas you might not need to add any. If not using canned olives, start with about 1 teaspoon and increase from there.
- Put the hummus in a bowl and if desired top with chopped cilantro or parsley, chopped olives, and a drizzle of additional olive oil if desired.
Notes
- Be careful to not over blend the salt in so as to keep the olive oil sweet. Salt levels will depend on taste, olives, if you are using tahini (more bulk) and if you use canned chickpeas (that will likely contain some salt already).

- Olive Varieties: Use whateverkind of olives you like, or even a mix! 6 oz canned black olives or salty green olives can be substituted for the kalamata olives. Whatever type you use, you can chop a few extra as a topping if desired.

- Sesame-free Option: If omitting the tahini, you'll want to add a liquid (olive oil or water are the best alternatives.) We do this all the time and it works very well.
