This scary olive hummus with a spider and web is perfect for your Halloween parties, especially since you can whip it up in just 10 minutes!
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons (40g) tahini
  • 1 small lemon, juiced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
  • One 15-ounce can (425g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup (90g) black olives
  • 4 tbsp water
  • Greek yogurt, as needed (optional)
  • 3 olives (optional, for the spider)
Instructions
  1. In a food processor, add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, salt and cumin. Blend for 1 minute.
  2. Add half of the chickpeas and blend for 30 seconds, then add the other half along with the olives.
  3. While the food processor is continuing to blend on low, add one tablespoon of water at a time until the mixture is homogeneous and creamy. I used 4 tablespoons, you may want more or less.
  4. To create the spider web, fill a pastry sack with some Greek yogurt and draw the web like the photo.
  5. For the spider, cut an olive in half lengthwise. Cut the other half of the olive in four legs. Cut the second olive in half lengthwise and cut four legs. For the head, cut an olive in half widthwise.
