Dill Pickle Hummus

Course: Appetizer, Dip

Equipment

  • food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas (or roughly 2 cups cooked chickpeas) drained, liquid reserved
  • ¾ cup chopped dill pickles drained
  • ¼ cup dill pickle brine
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp tahini
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill or more to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper or more to taste

Instructions

  • In a large food processor, fitted with a blade, add the hummus ingredients (chickpeas, chopped pickles, brine, garlic, olive oil, tahini, dill, and pepper). Run the food processor to blend until the hummus mixture is smooth.
  • Test, and if it's too thick, add a very little bit of the chickpeas canning liquid. Run the processor again until you achieve the desired creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Transfer the hummus to a serving dish and cover tightly. Chill a few minutes before serving. Uncover and smooth the surface of the hummus and drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Garnish with fresh dill or another herb if you like.
  • Enjoy with sliced cucumbers, pita bread, or pita chips.
