BLACK OLIVE HUMMUS
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.

Tips:

- 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.
