This is a sesame-free hummus that I make for a friend with allergies. It is a huge hit. You can either use pitted kalamata olives, or for a more intense flavor, you can buy black olive paste at most mediterranean groceries. Marmarabirlik salted black olive paste is my favorite.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained (reserve 1 tablespoon liquid)
1 tablespoon tahini
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 dash red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh
1 cup tomatoes, chopped
3/4 cup English cucumber, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup green onion, chopped (I would prefer red onion)
1/4 cup kalamata olive, chopped
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons cilantro, freshly minced
1 tablespoon mint, freshly minced
4 (6 inch) pita bread rounds, halved

Steps:

  • Drain chickpeas in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1 tablespoon liquid. Combine chickpeas, tahini, garlic and red pepper in a food processor, and process until smooth, scraping sides of processor bowl once. Add lemon juice and reserved chickpea liquid, process until smooth. Spoon mixture into a bowl; set aside. Combine tomato and next 6 ingredients (tomato through mint) in a bowl. Spoon 1/4 cup hummus mixture into each pita half; top with 1/4 cup feta-olive salsa.

Tips:

  • Use dried chickpeas: Soaking and cooking dried chickpeas yourself is much more economical and gives a better result than using canned chickpeas.
  • Cook chickpeas properly: Make sure to cook the chickpeas until they are very soft, as this will make them easier to blend and give the hummus a smoother texture.
  • Use a good quality tahini: The quality of the tahini can make a big difference in the taste of the hummus. Look for a tahini that is made from 100% sesame seeds and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Season the hummus well: Hummus should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and lemon juice. You can also add other spices, such as cumin or paprika, to taste.
  • Chill the hummus before serving: Chilling the hummus before serving allows the flavors to meld and makes it more refreshing.
  • Serve the hummus with a variety of toppings: Hummus can be served with a variety of toppings, such as olive oil, chopped parsley, paprika, or pine nuts.

Conclusion:

Hummus is a delicious and versatile dip or spread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's a great source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. With these tips, you can easily make homemade hummus that is as good as, or even better than, store-bought hummus.
