With toasted pitta and crisps, oh hell yes. Loooove tzatziki too. I grew up in a Greek Cypriot community and this is the taste of home to me

Make your own , it's simple , tastes much better & you can vary the courseness of the mix. Add a few basil leaves for an extra subtle flavour..

Top tip: plenty of tahini and a good pinch of cumin. The cumin really brings the flavours together, you'll be surprised the difference it makes.

Very easy, but there are a couple of little tricks you can use to make it even tastier and give a better consistency.

Tinned chick peas tend to make for a smoother blend than home-soaked - save a little of the brine from the tin to water down and add at the end of you need to thin the mix, but before you salt to taste.

Crush the garlic (not chop) before blending in.

Use a good oily tahina and augment it at the end with light (not toasted) sesame oil if needed.

Use cold pressed virgin olive oil, and pour a thin layer over the surface before putting in the fridge - it'll stop it crusting.

Make it at least two hours before you plan to serve it for all the blended ingredients to infuse together, and make it a tiny bit thinner than you need - it'll thicken as it sits cooling in your fridge.

It's so easy to make. I usually make some for family gatherings or having friends round for drinks. I make a normal one and another extra lemony and garlicky.

Yum fucking yum

Homemade hummus is the best - I think it's the liberal quantities of tahini I chuck in that makes it such a pure win!

Ooh these are great tips - I do all except the sesame oil, may experiment...

I sometimes make is with squeezed orange instead of lemon (after a NO LEMON emergency) and that gives a pretty great smooth taste.
