Ingredients for Artichoke Pesto Hummus

  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup chopped artichoke hearts (from a 14-ounce can, drained)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Cold Water
  • Pesto Sauce
  • Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Black Pepper

How to Make Artichoke Pesto Hummus

  1. Drain one 15-ounce can of chickpeas, rinse them thoroughly under cold water, and drain again.
  2. In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, 1/2 cup pesto, 1/2 cup chopped artichoke hearts (from a 14-ounce can, drained), 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup ice water.
  3. Process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary, to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of high-quality olive oil and garnish with extra artichoke hearts or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes (optional).
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
