For the whipped feta

200 g feta cheese

1 heaped tablespoon Greek yogurt

2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil

1 small clove garlic, optional

A pinch of chili flakes, optional for heat

For the chickpeas

1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

A few thin slices onion

Salt and black pepper

Directions

Add the feta, yogurt, olive oil, and garlic if using into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.

If you prefer a slight kick, add chili flakes instead of garlic or combine both for a stronger flavor profile.

In a bowl, mix the chickpeas with olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, red onion, salt, and pepper.

Let them sit for a few minutes so they absorb the flavor.

Spread the whipped feta onto a plate, creating soft swirls.

Spoon the marinated chickpeas over the top.

Finish with a drizzle of olive oil.

Serve with warm crusty bread. Scoop generously, that’s the whole experience.
