Black Olive Hummus

Black Olive Hummus

Serves 8

6 oz. (170g) black olives, pitted

14 oz. (400g) can chickpeas, drained

1 tsp. garlic, minced

3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

4 tbsp. olive oil

2 tbsp. water

½ tsp. salt

1 tsp. black pepper

What you need to do

Place the olives, chickpeas, and garlic into a food processor and pulse the ingredients together until they start to form a paste. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and blitz again, adding the oil slowly.

If the hummus is too thick, start adding the water ½ teaspoon at a time to reach the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator to enjoy later.
