We had an abundance of pita chips from a BOGO sale at Publix and what goes better with pita chips than hummus? So I found a recipe in How To Cook Everything: Simple Recipes for Great Food
1 (15 oz ) can chickpeas, drained
1/4 cup tahini
3 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup olives (whatever type you prefer, I like Kalamata)
salt & pepper to taste
dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
water (if needed)
Place all ingredients except water in food processor and blend until the consistency is smooth. If mixture is too thick, slowly add water until it gets to your desired consistency. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
What type of ingredients do you like in hummus?

Homemade hummus is so much better than store-bought! For me, hummus is all about garlic, garlic, garlic.
Mmmmmm….hummus. I could totally go for some of that right now!
I love black beans, roasted red peppers and kalamata olives in mine!
Black beans? That sounds awesome! I’ve been addicted to a half-sweet potato, half-chickpea blend but I’ll definitely have to try black beans. Thanks for the tip!
sweet potato & chickpea sounds GOOD!
Gotta try black beans! I’ve never had that before
Thanks for posting this, I’m on the hunt for a delicious hummus recipe! I like mine with a lot of garlic
