Hummus with Kalamata Olives

This recipe from the blog Confections of a Foodie Bride cranks up the intensity of hummus, incorporating kalamata olives in an otherwise standard chickpea-and-tahini affair. The results are bold and surprising: the perfect thing to shake up a snack spread. Game plan: Make the hummus up to 5 days ahead and refrigerate it in an airtight container. Let sit at room temperature for an hour before serving.

Directions

1. Step

Combine the lemon juice and water in a small, nonreactive bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the tahini and olive oil together until smooth.

To a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add the chickpeas, olives, garlic, salt, cumin, and cayenne. Pulse until it’s a coarse purée. Scrape down the bowl.

With the motor running, add the lemon juice–water mixture in a stream; process for 1 minute. Scrape down the bowl again.

4. Step

Repeat with the tahini-oil mixture and process until smooth, about 1 minute.

5. Step

Transfer the hummus to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld. Taste for seasoning, and add more salt if necessary.
