Cooking Vegetarian Mezze plate

Start your Mediterranean feast with a selection of beautiful dips.

  1. To make the labneh, place a fine sieve over a large bowl. Line the sieve with a double layer of wet muslin. Combine the yoghurt and sea salt flakes in a medium bowl. Pour the yoghurt mixture into the sieve, cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight to drain.
  2. To make the spiced chickpea puree, place the chickpeas, oil, lemon juice, garlic, chilli and cumin in the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  3. To make the parsley, feta & pine nut dip, place the parsley, garlic and pine nuts in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add the feta, oil and lemon juice and process until well combined. Taste and season with pepper.
  4. Turn the labneh onto a serving plate. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with paprika and parsley. Place the spiced chickpea puree in a serving bowl and drizzle with oil. Place the parsley, feta & pine nut dip in a serving bowl and sprinkle with extra pine nuts. Serve immediately with toasted wholemeal pita bread.
