A delightful Mediterranean-inspired spread featuring chickpeas, olives, and a medley of spices.
Add the cooked chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, cayenne, olive oil, olives, roasted red bell pepper, and cumin to a food processor.
For a smoother texture, you can peel the chickpeas before blending.
Blend the ingredients until smooth, adding a tablespoon of water at a time to reach your desired consistency.
Scrape down the sides of the processor bowl to ensure everything is evenly blended.
Transfer the spread to a serving plate and smooth the top with a spatula.
Create a small well in the center for garnishing.
Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
For a decorative touch, add a sprinkle of cumin or cayenne on top.
Serve with warm pita bread or fresh vegetable sticks.
Warm the pita bread slightly for a more enjoyable experience.
