A simple nibble to start a romantic meal with a Greek theme, or an easy party appetizer, this traditional hummus recipe from Diane Brown works for many occasions.
Put garlic and a pinch of salt into a mortar and crush with a pestle until they form a paste.
Put chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, salt to taste and garlic paste into the bowl of a food processor and puree, occasionally scraping down bowl, until very smooth, 3-4 minutes. Drizzle in olive oil slowly and pulse to just combine.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with warm pita wedges.
