Hatay Hummus

Hatay Hummus is a traditional mezze prepared by blending boiled chickpeas with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and spices. Its smooth texture, rich tahini aroma, and fresh citrus tang give it a well-balanced flavor. Holding an important place in Hatay cuisine, especially at breakfast and mezze tables, hummus may be served plain or topped with butter, pine nuts, vegetables, and spices. It is one of the region’s best-known traditional appetizers.
