Get the Altoids ready because this one’s a nightmare on your breath but it’s worth it.
Chickpeas and olives are two of my favorite foods; I think they deserve their own food group. This has a strong flavor of a tapenade but with all the creaminess of a hummus. It’s definitely a winning potluck recipe.
Black Olive Hummus
Ingredients:
- 2 cups chickpeas
- 1/2 cup black olives, pitted
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3-4 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Dumb the chickpeas into a food processor.
Add in the olives, garlic, and salt and begin to process.
As the hummus is blending, slowly pour in the vinegar and olive oil until it takes on a smooth consistency.
Garnish with sliced olives to warn any olive haters.
Somebody pass the [gluten-free] pita because it’s on.
Looks tasty. I haven’t made hummus in a long time but it’s definitely time to do something about that!
Oh dear heavens. I think I might love this hummus even better than your peanut butter one. Then again, I’ve eaten almost nothing that wasn’t sweet today, so my tastebuds might simply be craving the pure salty savoury umami beauty of hummus and olives and vinegar…
I no longer worry about dishes that wreak havoc on my breath– I guess that’s one of the advantages (or disadvantages, depending on who’s breathing) to being married. In other words– I’m making this.
Maybe that’s what I’m doing wrong.
I’ve yet to make my own hummus but this looks awesome!!
You are like the king of hummus, seriously!! This looks great!
Yep, I’m making this.
🙂
This looks delicious! Just put some chickpeas in the fridge to soak this morning. Will be making this soon.
I cannot wait to make this recipe! I don’t think I’m ever going to buy store bought hummus again!
I wonder if hummus is “trending” on twitter by now -there is such a craze!
this looks delicious as always! 🙂
mmmm now I want some green olive hummus, please! 😉 that looks fantastic!
looks yummy! are those just plain black olives from a can? or are they kalamata?
They’re Whole Foods’ brand medium ripe pitted olives, aka the cheapest ones they had.
I’m actually eating black olive right now 🙂 Yum.
I made edamame hummus earlier this week, and I’ll be posting my version of your dessert hummus sometime next week! I’m all about the hummus lately!
I am a big olive hater, but if there’s any way to get me to like something, it’s to throw it in a food processor and blend it up with hummus. I’ll be trying this!
I’m not an olives fan, but I do love hummus and somehow I think this could really work… I can definitely warm up to this combo of flavors.
One of the many reasons I love your blog–our shared affection for all things hummus.
Evan, I LOVE YOUR HUMMUSES!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! 😀
OMG does this look delectable.
This was awesome! Great with a little crushed red pepper and topped with a sprinkle of feta. Thanks for all the delicious ideas.
