2. Olive My Pickle's Dill Pickle Hummus

For many years at the farmers market, our co-founder Shai would make and sell his pretty famous hummus. He said it's okay for us to share this family recipe here. We took it one step further and added chopped dill pickles and pickle juice. Now that's a fabulous probiotic dip.

Ingredients: Serves 6

1 1/2 cup chickpeas - sprouted and boiled is of course best, but if you need to use canned, go for it!
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil - plus more to drizzle when serving
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup lemon juice
1-2 cloves OMP Fermented Garlic - this is our secret ingredient, plus what makes this hummus probiotic (you can absolutely use raw garlic if you don't have this on hand, but it won't be quite the same)
1 OMP Kosher Dill Pickle - chopped
Boiling juices from the chickpeas (or the can) - use this instead of water to reach desired consistency/thickness (quantity depends on your desired results)
pinch of cumin
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Mix and serve hummus in a bowl with a generous garnish of chopped dill pickles on top, plus drizzle olive oil.

PRO TIP: For extra garlic-y hummus and simple extraordinary hummus, use OMP Garlic Pickles.
