By looking at these pictures, it might look like a basic hummus recipe, but in reality, it is olive-flavored hummus. Hummus, by any means, does not need any introduction as it is a world-famous dish and now it is so sought after that it comes in tons of flavors. Olive Hummus is one such version of flavored hummus.
I wanted this to be a chunky kind of hummus, so instead of grinding all the ingredients together, I chose to grind basic hummus ingredients first and then blitzed the chopped olives a bit to get the flavor as well as the crunch. You can easily get that slightly bitter and salty flavor from olives combined with the creamy taste of hummus which balances the overall taste. It can be a good option if you are looking for a change in taste of usual hummus.
