-1 15.5 oz. can chickpeas, drained
-3-4 Tbsp olive oil
-Juice of 1 - 2 lemons
-2-3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
-1 tsp cumin seeds (sub 1/2 tsp powdered cumin)
-1 - 2 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt
-Salt and pepper to taste
-1/2 tsp paprika or kirmsi biber


1. Place chickpeas in a food processor and blend to a thick puree. Add olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin and paprika, and blend thoroughly. Add yogurt to lighten the mixture and blend until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl often. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Serve garnished with a little olive oil and/or a dusting of paprika.
