2 cups cooked garbanzo beans, either canned or dried beans soaked and cooked
2 cups green olives, pitted
1 tsp cumin, or more to taste
1 tsp ground red pepper flakes, or more to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic
lemon juice, to taste
Put all ingredients in a food processor or a high powered blender. Blend and adjust seasoning to taste.

I agree that the olives give it a fresh taste. I have not had olives in my humus before but i will definitely make this again.
