Ingredients

Try some of our Olive Oil from Israel!

  • 250 g cooked chickpeas (or 1 can, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 heaping tablespoon sun‑dried tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoons tahini

  • Extra Galilee Green olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Add chickpeas, sun‑dried tomatoes, turmeric, cumin, garlic, tahini, and a pinch of salt to a food processor.
  2. Blend while slowly adding cold water until the hummus becomes smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour in the olive oil and blend again until fully incorporated.

  5. Transfer to a bowl, drizzle generously with olive oil, and finish with chopped coriander.

Serving Ideas

  • Spread on warm pita
  • Serve with fresh vegetables

  • If your sun‑dried tomatoes are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes first.
  • Cold water helps create a fluffier texture.
