Turkish Style Hummus

Adapted from Turkish Meze:
Ingredients:

•1 – 15.5 ounce can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
•3-4 Tbsp olive oil
•The juice of 1 or 2 lemons
•3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
•1 tsp cumin seeds or 1/2 tsp powdered cumin
•1 – 2 Tbsp plain natural yogurt (Greek style, if you can find it)
•Salt and pepper to taste
•1/2 tsp paprika or kirmsi biber
Method:

Place chickpeas in a food processor and blend to a thick puree. Add olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin and paprika, and blend thoroughly. Add yogurt to lighten the mixture and blend until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl often. Add salt and pepper to taste (taste often, you might prefer a little more paprika or cumin.)

Serve garnished with a little olive oil or a dusting of paprika. Can be made ahead and stroed in fridge. Flavors meld.
