This comes out really purple. The flavor is amazing. Kalamata olives are so flavorful and combined with feta and Mediterranean, it’s addictive. There are tons of ways to serve this – with crackers, crustini, pita chips or on foccacia. For presentation, be sure to choose a bowl that shows off the color of this recipe!

For this recipe you will need:

1 cup kalamata olives, pits removed (reserve juice)
1 Tbsp. reserved olive juice
1 Tbsp. Victoria Taylor’s Mediterranean Seasoning
2 oz. Feta Cheese
2 oz. Cream Cheese

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth.

This incredible spread will keep refrigerated for 1 week.

Best,

Victoria

Red Hummus with Victoria Taylor’s Smoky Paprika Chipotle Seasoning

Posted on January 26, 2012 | Leave a comment

I love this recipe as part of a hors d’oeuvres spread. It has such a great flavor with the combination of the red beans and the Smoky Paprika Chipotle Seasoning. Serve with pita chips or crackers.

For this recipe you will need:

1 can (15 oz) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
4 garlic cloves
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tsp. Victoria Taylor’s Smoky Paprika Chipotle Seasoning
2 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
2 oz. roasted red peppers, drained
1 Tbsp. olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until mixture is smooth and creamy.

For best results let the hummus sit in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving to let the flavors combine. Serve with pita triangles or small crackers.
