5 Minute Homemade Hummus with Black Spanish Olives
– 5 Minute Homemade Hummus with Black Spanish Olives –
I´m serious, I could container after container of hummus all day long! Hummus is such an incredible spread, filled with heart-healthy chickpeas and you can flavor it with so many different flavors. In this recipe we´re making a 5 Minute Homemade Hummus with Black Spanish Olives. This hummus is an absolute knock-out, loaded with flavors and that classic creamy texture. The added black Spanish olives really lift the flavors of the hummus and the combination of ingredients have the perfect balance. In this hummus I used no tahini, so for all of you that are allergic to sesame, you´re good to go here. Even though no tahini was used, the flavors are still spot-on and you won´t even miss the tahini. The only thing you need to make this hummus (besides the ingredients 🙂 ) is a food processor.
– The Perfect Creamy Hummus Everytime! –
Some people swear by removing the skins from the chickpeas to achieve a creamy hummus. While this method works, it´s a very time-consuming and tedious job. I have found that leaving the skins on doesn´t really affect the creaminess of hummus. The secret is to always add your olive oil first, pulse everything together until well combined and then slowly pour in your second liquid (I used cold water) and pulse the hummus until you reach that perfect creamy texture. By simply adding the second liquid in slowly after everything has already been combined is what will help you achieve that beautiful creamy texture.
