Step-by-Step Instructions for Greek Hummus Recipe
- Begin by draining and rinsing 1 can of chickpeas under cool running water until the liquid is no longer cloudy. Set aside the chickpeas in a bowl.
- In a food processor, add the rinsed chickpeas, ¼ cup of tahini, the juice of one fresh lemon, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 2 cloves of freshly minced garlic, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of ground cumin. Pulse for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- Add in ½ cup of crumbled feta cheese and ¼ cup of chopped Kalamata olives, and pulse gently just to combine. Ensure you still have little flecks of feta and olives visible.
- Taste your Greek hummus and adjust the seasoning. You may want to add more salt, lemon juice, or garlic. Blend again briefly.
- Transfer the Greek hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle extra virgin olive oil on top, and garnish with more feta, Kalamata olives, and parsley.
- Your Greek hummus is now ready! Pair it with warm pita bread, sliced vegetables, or crackers.
