Communal eating can be a phenomenal experience, especially when it involves coming together to relish dishes that can be shared among many people. Dips are not only a hearty snack option, but also allow for versatility and the choice to pair it with pretty much anything you like.
Smoky and spicy from the roasted bell peppers and chillies, the muhammara can be paired with toasted slices of sourdough or even freshly made pita bread.
The mellow yet robust flavours from the sweet roasted garlic permeate an otherwise basic hummus to spruce up its taste.
Cooling and creamy tzatziki is the perfect dip/condiment to slather over all kinds of kebabs and grilled meats.
An eggplant-based dip that features prominently on a mezze platter, the baba ganoush can also be enjoyed with chips, falafel or lavash.
Experiment with flavours like pepper-garlic, coriander and red chilli to enhance the flavours of your tangy labneh.
What is essentially a ‘stew’ of beans cooked with garlic, herbs and lemon juice, this warm dip packs in flavour and texture.
