Six Layer Mediterranean Dip
- Hummus
- 2/3 cup dried chick peas, rinsed and soaked at least 6 hours
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- juice 1/2 lemon, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- Assembly
- 1/2 cup diced English cucumber
- 1 roma tomato, diced
- 10 pitted kalamata olives, sliced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta
- pita wedges or chips for serving
- Drain the garbanzo beans and place in a saucepan with enough water to cover the garbanzo beans by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower heat and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from heat and drain, reserving the cooking liquid for later use.
- In a blender or food processor, add the garbanzo beans, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cooking liquid. Blend or process on high speed until hummus is smooth and creamy. Season to taste with additional salt and lemon juice.
- Spread the hummus in the bottom of a shallow bowl. Next layer the cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, onion, and feta. Serve with pita wedges.
