Chickpea, Artichoke & Fresh Herb Hummus
Yes,
we’ve been around the hummus block a time or two but I had a garden
bursting with herbs and a can of chickpeas standing alongside a can of
artichoke hearts in the cupboard, so, well, you know how this goes.
This is full of bright, herby flavor and the satisfying creaminess we
expect from hummus. Great on a sandwich or crackers, this will help
anyone who’s become bored with their hummus game, plus give you a great
medium for some herbs that are looking for a home. I don’t make hummus
with oil, but if you want a richer or more traditional version, replace
some or all of the water with extra virgin olive oil.

Chickpea, Artichoke & Fresh Herb Hummus
15.5 ounces cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
½ cup water-packed artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed
4 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup roughly chopped fresh herbs (I used chives and basil but dill and parsley would also be great)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cayenne powder, to taste (optional)
Water for smoothness (I used about ¼ cup)
Add
chickpeas, artichoke hearts, tahini, lemon and garlic to a food
processor. Process until desired smoothness, then add the herbs, salt
and pepper and optional cayenne powder. Pulse until the herbs are
well-chopped and integrated. Add water and/or olive oil if necessary
for taste and smoothness.
