Ingredients

A PDO
For 4 personnes
  • 1 small tin of plain cooked white beans (400g)
  • 100g of green olives Picholine (PDO Nîmes)
  • The leaves from about ten sprigs of flat-leaf parsley
  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil from the Vallée des Baux de Provence PDO
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Espelette pepper
  • Salt, pepper
  • Raw vegetable sticks and toast to serve with

Tip

Feel free to reduce the amount of garlic to suit your taste, or replace the parsley with coriander or basil! This hummus can be made in advance and kept in the fridge, but in that case, cover the surface of the hummus with green olives and white beans with cling film or a thin layer of olive oil to prevent it from drying out.

Instructions

  • Stone the Picholine olives, remove the leaves from the parsley, peel the garlic and remove the germ.

  • Blend all these ingredients together with the drained white beans, olive oil from the Vallée des Baux-de-Provence and the chilli. Taste and season. Add a little olive oil if the texture is too thick.

We recommend...

For this recipe, choose a PDO huile d'olive de la Vallée des Baux-de-Provence (intense flavour) for its aromas of freshly cut grass, apple, almond, raw artichoke, fresh hazelnut or tomato leaf. Don’t
have any? Then opt for PDO huile d'olive d'Aix-en-Provence, PDO huile d'olive de Haute-Provence, PDO huile d'olive de Nîmes, PDO huile d'olive de Provence, PDO huile d'olive du Languedoc or PDO huile d'olive de Corse - Oliu di Corsica.

Choose PDO olives de Nîmes for their crunch, their generous size and their buttery, nutty flavours.
Other green olives from PDO may also be suitable: Lucques du Languedoc PDO or olives cassées de la Vallée des Baux-de-Provence PDO.
