Coriander and Green Olive Hummus Recipe image

This is my favourite hummus recipe that I have developed as of late. The green olives work well to add a slightly salty note to the hummus. The way I make hummus uses less oil so I can feel less guilty about enjoying my favourite dish. Coriander is known in the States as cilantro. I came up with this recipe for my vegetarian food blog at wwww.weekendcarnivore.com .

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas, drained but the liquid reserved
1/4 cup tahini
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves
1/3 cup fresh coriander
1/3 cup green olives, pitted
fresh ground pepper, to taste
sea salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Put the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, coriander and olives into a blender or food processor. I use my mini chopper to make it extra easy.
  • Blitz in short bursts, pushing the mixture down when needed until everything is combined.
  • Add a little bit of the reserved bean liquid and blitz again. Add more if you need more to get to the hummus texture you desire.
  • Serve in a bowl topped with olives.
