Hummus

Humus

Hummus needs little introduction: smooth chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon, olive oil and garlic. At a Turkish table it's one of the first things to arrive, ready for warm bread.

Where it comes from

Hummus is eaten all over the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. In Turkey it's most at home in the south, in cities such as Adana and Antakya near the Syrian border, where it's sometimes served warm.

How we make it at EFES

Blended chickpeas with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. It's also part of our mixed cold meze.

How to eat it

• Tear off some bread or balloon bread and scoop.
• It's lovely with grilled meat too: a spoonful alongside a shish kebab.

• Tzatziki (Cacik) £4.50
• Lamb shish £17.00
