Scale
Hummus:
- 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced
Crostini:
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 8 large pitted green olives or kalamata olives, chopped finely
- 2 tablespoons celery, finely diced
- 1 baguette (12 ounces), sliced into 12 pieces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Hummus: In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, extra virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
- Make the Olive Mixture: In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil with the finely chopped olives and diced celery. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix gently.
- Assemble the Crostini: Spread the prepared hummus evenly over each slice of baguette. Top each slice with a spoonful of the olive and celery mixture. Finish with freshly ground black pepper if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy texture.
Notes
- For extra crunch, toast the baguette slices lightly before assembling.
- You can substitute celery with finely diced cucumber for a refreshing twist.
- Use kalamata olives for a stronger, fruitier flavor or green olives for a milder taste.
- This recipe can be prepared ahead by making hummus and olive mixture separately; assemble just before serving.
- Add a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese on top for additional authentic Greek flavor.
