TURKISH HUMMUS WITH YOGURT

This is much like the familiar Middle Eastern chickpea purée, but instead of tahini, the chickpeas are blended with yogurt. It's lighter than the version made with tahini, and it's nice either warm or at room temperature. Skinning the chickpeas makes a more delicate, smoother purée, and it doesn't take as long as you'd think, but I leave the step as an optional one.

Time 2h15m

Yield 2 cups, serving 8 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces (1 cup) dried chickpeas, rinsed, picked over and soaked for 4 to 6 hours, or overnight
Salt to taste
2 garlic cloves, green shoots removed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 to 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, to taste
1/4 cup thick Greek-style or drained yogurt
Fresh pomegranate seeds
Ground cumin
Black olives

Steps:

  • Drain the soaked chickpeas and place in a pot with 1 quart of water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 1 hour. Add salt to taste and continue to simmer for another hour, or until chickpeas are thoroughly tender. Remove from the heat. Drain but retain about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. You should have 2 cups cooked chickpeas.
  • Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop in the garlic. When the garlic is chopped and adhering to the sides of the bowl, stop the food processor and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the chickpeas, salt and cumin, and turn on the machine for about 30 seconds. Stop the machine, scrape down the sides, and start the machine again. With the machine running, add the lemon juice, olive oil and yogurt, and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust salt. Thin out as desired with cooking broth from the chickpeas, or with more yogurt. Transfer to a wide bowl, and garnish if desired. Serve with warm pita bread.

In this modified version of the Middle Eastern garbanzo bean dip, yogurt is used to replace some of the high-fat tahini (sesame seed paste). The dip is great with fresh vegetables or toasted pita bread wedges. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large garlic cloves
1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained
2 tablespoons plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Mince garlic in processor. Add remaining ingredients; blend until coarse puree forms, occasionally scraping down sides of work bowl. Season hummus to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to small bowl. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

Tips:

  • To make the smoothest hummus, use a food processor or high-powered blender.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the chickpeas by hand using a potato masher or fork.
  • For a creamier hummus, add more tahini.
  • If you like a garlicky hummus, add more garlic.
  • To make a spicy hummus, add some cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • To make a smoky hummus, add some roasted red peppers.
  • For a more tangy hummus, add some lemon juice.
  • To make a sweeter hummus, add some honey or maple syrup.
  • Serve hummus with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers.
