7umous bi laban , recipe .

Here is my 7umous bi Laban recipe:

7umous ( Chickpeas) tin or from the market

One large tomato

Garlic 1-2 cloves

Greek style yoghurt 200g

Tahini 2-3 tbsp

Lemon

Salt

Parsley

Paprika

Olive oil

Drain the beans ( if it's from the tin ) . They need to be warm but not too hot as the yoghurt will curdle.

Mix the youghrt, tahini, crushed garlic, salt and squeeze of a lemon and mix together. The mixture will stiffen because of the tahini. Add a little bit of water at a time and whisk. You need a fairly loose consistency. Adjust the quantities according to taste. I like more tahini and less lemon but try till you get the taste you like.

Chop the tomato and add to the yoghurt sauce. Add the warm beans and mix together. Transfer to a large bowl or individual portions.

Decorate with paprika, chopped parsley and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Serve with warm bread, a quartered onion and some pickles.
