Last year before my move, I started the arduous process of cooking my way through my pantry. One of my favorite dishes to kill multiple canned birds with one stone was this artichoke hummus recipe.

It’s also a nice go-to for last minute entertaining, which is how I found myself whipping up a batch recently to bring with me to a friend’s house for a dinner party.Since I’m lazy, I often resort to canned or jarred artichoke hearts for my recipes, so I always have a can or two on hand. If you’ve made my grilled romaine salad from The Wellness Project book, you know why.Artichokes are in season this time of year, but I know very few martyrs who would be willing to breakdown and cook a whole head just so it could be pureed to smithereens.

Plus, there’s something to be said for the briny quality of canned artichokes in water. In this artichoke hummus recipe it gives the dense chickpeas a nice light body. And the tanginess of the canned hearts cuts the richness of the tahini in a way that feels rather fresh and springy, even if that illusion can be created year round.

When I served it last week to a group of girlfriends, no one could quite put their finger on what was different about the hummus recipe. Just that it was so much better than usual.

Even if you don’t hoard 5 rows of canned goods in a cabinet next to your sweaters, these ingredients are cheap enough to pick up and keep around for the season (or beyond). So if you’re looking for an easy appetizer for Easter or just something to celebrate the rising temperature with a group of friends, this artichoke hummus recipe is for you.

Friendly reminder that this is also the perfect time of year for a little #pantrypurge. Make something this week from the deep depths of your cabinets or fridge! If you share your creations with me on Instagram and tag @phoebelapine I’ll share them!

What an awesome take on hummus! We often cut our hummus with a bit of labneh or other plain yogurt and omit some of the tahini to add some tang and lighten it up a bit, but the artichokes sound like a really great idea!

Hi, just wondering if you can leave the tahini out? Or is that where most of the flavor comes from?

  That’s one of the more traditional ingredients in hummus, so I wouldn’t omit entirely. Sorry! xo

I Love artichokes, i have tried a similar kind of recipe “Green Peas Stir fry”.
Soak the green peas overnight, next morning pressure cook till it become soft, add coconut powder and stir fry, it tastes heavenly at tea time.

I love artichokes, and I love hummus. I wasn’t sure about adding so much tahini but it makes sense with adding the added bulk oil the artichokes. It is delicious. Thanks!

I had all of the ingredients on hand in the pantry and decided to give this recipe a try as it sounded really delicious. I absolutely love hummus and I’m always looking for great recipes to try. This recipe is very tasty and it makes a lot — so we’ll have plenty to snack on. I did add extra lemon juice – just our preference.
