  • Ezme and Hummus

    Ingredients

    • Ezme
    • 1 small red onion
    • 1 large red capsicum
    • 2 vine-ripened tomatoes
    • 1 garlic clove
    • Handful of flat-leaf parsley & dill
    • 2 tablespoons molasses
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
    • 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • Salt and pepper
    • ⅓ cup kalamata olives, torn
    • Sprig of dill
    • Hummus
    • 400g tin chickpeas, rinsed, drained
    • ⅓ cup tahini
    • 1 garlic clove
    • ½ cup water
    • Juice 1 lemon
    • Salt and pepper
    • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon molasses
    • 2 teaspoons za’atar
    • ½ cup yogurt (to serve)

    Method

    1. Roughly chop the onion, capsicum, tomato, garlic, and herbs and place into a blender, such as a Vitamix. Blend the ingredients on speed 2 for 10 seconds then scrape down the sides using the spatula and continue to blend for another 10 seconds.
    2. Add the olive oil, pomegranate molasses, cumin season, salt and pepper.
    3. Spoon this into a bowl, clean the blender jug then add the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, water, and lemon to the jug with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Blend to a smooth creamy texture, using a little more tahini to thicken or water to thin, if needed.
    4. To serve, spoon the hummus onto a serving plate and make an indent in the middle, spoon in the yoghurt then drizzle with the olive oil, molasses, and za’atar.
    5. Spoon the ezme onto another plate and top with the olives and dill. Serve dishes with warm flatbreads to dip through.
