Traditional hummus<\/a> is made primarily from chickpeas<\/a>, tahini, olive oil and lemon<\/a> juice. The Turkish<\/a> version of hummus, on the other hand, often incorporates a wider range of ingredients and flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike other variants, which are often served cold, Turkish hummus can be served warm, often topped with toppings such as pastrami (basturma, beef jerky) or saut\u00e9ed lamb, turning it from a simple appetizer into a hearty meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The addition of yogurt<\/a>, as in our version, is not universal, but is a delightful twist, giving the dish, a tartness and creamy texture that contrasts beautifully with the nuttiness of the tahini and the earthiness of the chickpeas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While traditional hummus is creamy and rich, the addition of Turkish (or Greek) yogurt gives it a light and refreshing aftertaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve this hummus with warm flatbreads (yeast-free pita<\/a>, bazlama<\/a>, Ramadan pita<\/a>, simit<\/a>) or sliced fresh vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be included in meze<\/a>, accompanied by olives, stuffed grape leaves and baba ghanoush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
