Olive and White Bean Hummus

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.

The first version from the holidays.

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

  1. Place olives, beans, paprika, garlic and red wine vinegar in a food processor and pulse until pureed.
  2. Add enough hot chili oil to get a consistency of a dip. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. May garnish with more paprika and chopped olives.
  4. Serve with pita chips or tortilla chips.
