Greek style hummus recipe

[dpappas87]

I don't believe that hummus is actually from Greek cuisine - is it? It does feel like it is a great fit for the cuisine, though. I give my homemade hummus some Greek touches, though, when I feel like it. Here is my recipe:

- 1 can of chickpeas drained
- 3 tbsp. of tahini
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp. of dried oregano
- Crumbled feta and chopped Greek olives to sprinkle on the top

Add all the ingredients except the feta and olives to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Pour into a serving dish and top with crumbled feta and chopped olives just before serving.

Sometimes I will make a batch of hummus or get store bought hummus and then add a bunch of Greek ingredients to it, like chopped Kalamata olives, diced tomatoes, oregano, feta cheese. It's a crowd pleaser. I call it a Greek nacho dip and serve it with Pita chips. So basically, picture spreading hummus out on a platter - I usually make double the batch of regular hummus, and then top it with horiatiki (except I chop all the veggies small).

I sometimes add a bit of chopped tomatoes in mine!
