Today I am continuing a hastily put together series of Super Bowl worthy bites.
“Hummus” is loosely used here in the title.
This recipe came about during the past holiday season. I decided to whip up some hummus for lunch and upon opening what I thought was a can of chickpeas, I realized I had mistakenly opened white beans.
I have had a lot of success with white bean dips so I decided to create one more. Finding a can of olives in the pantry spurred me on to create this new hummus-like dip.
Olive and White Bean “Hummus”
Ingredients
- 1 can green olives (water packed)
- 1 can white beans
- 1 t. paprika
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 t. red wine vinegar
- hot chili oil
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Place olives, beans, paprika, garlic and red wine vinegar in a food processor and pulse until pureed.
- Add enough hot chili oil to get a consistency of a dip. Season with salt and pepper.
- May garnish with more paprika and chopped olives.
- Serve with pita chips or tortilla chips.
