Spicy Olive Hummus

2 cups	chickpeas
20	high quality kalamata olives
¼ cup	tahini
Juice of 2 good sized lemons
3 cloves	garlic, minced
1½ tsp	Tone’s® Ground Cumin
1 tsp	Tone’s® Spanish Style Paprika
½ tsp	coriander
½ tsp	Tone’s® Cayenne Pepper
1+ tsp	Tone’s® Sea Salt
½ cup	good quality, tasty, olive oil + more for topping
Chopped cilantro or parsley for topping, optional

If using canned chickpeas, rinse and drain.

Blend chickpeas, olives, tahini, garlic, spices, and lemon juice together.

Blend in the olive oil, be careful not to over blend. Olive oil will go from fruity to bitter if over blended.

Taste and add salt as needed. Salt levels will depend on your taste, the type of olives, and if you use canned chickpeas.

Put the hummus in a bowl and if desired top with chopped cilantro or parsley, chopped olives, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
