People tell me that I bring my father up a lot during conversation. There\u2019s no doubt I have a soft spot for him – my dad has a big personality, a bigger heart and an overwhelming knack for feeding people. He whips up meals faster, better and with more panache than anyone I know. My father has the ability to incorporate seemingly incompatible ingredients that result in a mouthwatering masterpiece.<\/p>\n

Recently, my good friend happened to ask me for my hummus recipe. Although I had decided to write up a different recipe for this week, I thought to post this one instead. I was making some hummus anyway for a get together, so that gave me the perfect opportunity for pictures as well.<\/p>\n

My dad made hummus very often when I was growing up. We ate it with kababs<\/a>, lamb chops<\/a> and barbecue chicken<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The best thing I love about his recipe is the use of yogurt – not conventional I know, but it works really well here, and results in that tangy taste that I love. My 9 year old (who looks uncannily like her grandfather) loves lending me a hand with this – so try having your kids measure out the ingredients with you. I hope you love this dip as much as I do:-)<\/p>\n

This is how its made :<\/p>\n

1. In a blender\/food processor put 2 cups of chickpeas (cooked and cooled; or canned)<\/p>\n

2. Add in 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tbsp lemon juice and 2 tbsp olive oil<\/p>\n

3. Also put in \u00bc cup tahini<\/a>, \u2153 cup yogurt, \u00bc cup water and 3\/4 tsp salt\"IMG_20150202_131824469\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Blend all the ingredients till smooth.<\/p>\n

Pour into a serving dish,drizzle in some \u00a0olive oil and eat with pita bread or pita chips.<\/p>\n
