Growing up in my parents Cypriot restaurant, I always assumed that humus would be a magically complex thing to make since it was never as good anywhere else. When I moved to Berlin I was craving home comforts and asked my dad for the recipe. Within 10 minutes I had authentic, quick and easy humus – just like papa makes it.
Easily tweak it to your own taste by adding more salt, lemon or olive oil at the end. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Serve this classic sharing dish with our Olive & Halloumi Bread and show your guests Mediterranean hospitality at it’s best.
