GREEK LAYERED DIP
Provided by Lepp Farm Market
This colourful dish is the perfect way to feature BC Greenhouse Growers’ locally grown cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes. It will disappear in a hurry. Make sure to grab some before it’s all gone.
Hummus ingredients:
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (roughly 2 cups drained, cooked chickpeas)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons tahini
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon), plus more to taste
1 small clove of garlic, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
Instructions:
1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
2. Combine the chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of the food processor or blender.
3. Process the hummus continuously until it becomes very smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to integrate any large chunks.
4. Sample and add more of any of the ingredients, to taste. If your hummus is stiffer than you’d like, add more lemon juice or olive oil to thin it out and make the hummus creamier.
5. Scrape the hummus into a bowl and serve with pita chips or raw vegetables. Hummus will also keep for up to a week in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
Layered dip:
In a shallow 8- or 9-inch pie plate, layer the following:
1. Hummus – either purchased or make your own. (Making your own hummus is extremely easy and inexpensive – see recipe above.)
2.A selection of diced fresh vegetables – cucumbers; tomatoes; red, orange or yellow peppers; olives
3. Crumbled feta cheese
4. Sprinkle with your favourite Greek seasoning or dried oregano.
5. If you are not serving this immediately, cover with wrap and refrigerate.
6. Just before serving, drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil over top.
Serve with warmed pita breads or pita chips.
