Instead of making the usual hummus, try this baked version with a few extra flavours added. With a crumble of feta and crunchy nuts on top, it is perfect scooped on to warm pitas or a piece of Turkish bread. It is even better the day after, cold, added to a sandwich or dolloped on top of a lunchtime salad. Serves 10 for pre-dinner.
Ingredients
| 2 Tbsp | Olive oil |
| 1 | Onion, chopped |
| 2 cloves | Garlic, chopped |
| 2 rashers | Bacon, chopped |
| ½ tsp | Paprika |
