Hummus

Lately I have been very lazy when it comes to preparing our Turkish Feast. Working in the evening means little time for cooking so I had been buying a ‘four-pack’ of skinny dips.

Those four-packs no longer seem to be stocked in the supermarkets and buying individual packs has proved to be expensive and a waste of food because even small tubs are too much for just two of us. So I have started to make our own dips and hummus is a staple for our Turkish-inspired dinners.

Guacamole

Guacamole is a Mexican avocado dip. This recipe was developed by a friend. You can vary the quantities of all the ingredients to suit your tastes. The recipe here does not include tomatoes or onions, which are usually part of a traditional guacamole.

Baba Ghanoush

To make baba ghanoush, I follow the Baba Ghanoush recipe at Calorie King.

Tzatziki

A versatile dish that can be used as an appetiser, snack or sauce.

Smoked Oyster Dip

As far as I know this dip was created by my mother. For a long time it was the only dip we kids would eat!
