Olive Hummus

It's been a while, and a lot has been going on. Moving from one part of Toronto to another is the biggest thing - but instead of going into detail about all of that, here is a delicious hummus recipe instead! :)
It's a quick and simple recipe, as hummus recipes usually are, and has a nice little kick of olive that isn't overwhelming.

Olive Hummus

Ingredients:
  • 1 can chick peas, drained and rinsed (try to get the chick peas that just have water and chick peas, with no other ingredients listed.)
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 12 black olives (or olives of your choice). If you want more of an olive flavour, use more - I found that for this amount of hummus, 12 did the job nicely!
  • Salt of choice, to taste (I used about 1 tsp)
  • 1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (normally I'd use lemon juice for hummus, but the apple cider vinegar really helps with bringing out the flavour of the olives)
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
 Method:
  • Puree all ingredients in a food processor or a high-powered blender. 
  • Eat, and enjoy! :) (See? I told you it was easy...)
The ingredients, in all their glory!

Drizzle with a little bit of evoo, and top with an olive. <3
