Yuksel's Famous Hummus

Serves 4 

Prep time - 15mins

The only hummus we eat at home is homemade because it tastes so much better! Adding yoghurt to hummus is the original and traditional way of making it in Turkey. Yuksel has a friend from Antakya which is in the Hatay province in Turkey which is famous for making hummus and he taught us to make it this way, we just adapted the recipe to our tastes as we like a nice lemony flavour in ours. The yoghurt adds the most smooth and creamy texture - you're going to love it! 

Ingredients

• 400g drained chickpeas 
• 2tbsp Greek Yoghurt 
• 2tbsp Olive Oil 
• 1tbsp Tahini 
• Juice of 1 Lemon 
• 1.5tsp Salt 

For the topping

• 1tbsp Parsley, chopped
• 2tbsp Chickpeas  
• 1tsp Olive Oil 

Cooking Instructions

1. Place the chickpeas in a food processor with the olive oil and blitz for 1 min until it creates a paste. Add in the tahini, yoghurt, lemon and salt and continue to blend until it becomes smooth. We like our hummus very smooth so we continue to mix and blend for 5 mins, however if you prefer a less smooth texture then simply blend less. Adjust any seasonings to your taste. 
2. Spoon into a serving dish and sprinkle with the chickpeas, chopped parsley and drizzle with olive oil.
