A vibrant and flavorful Mediterranean mezze platter featuring hummus, baba ganoush, and marinated olives, perfect for entertaining.

Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• 1 large eggplant
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 cup mixed olives (Kalamata, green)
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• Pita bread or crackers for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick eggplant with a fork, place on baking sheet, and roast for 30 minutes until soft. Let cool, then peel and chop flesh.
2. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Process until smooth. With motor running, add 1/4 cup olive oil until creamy. Transfer hummus to a bowl.
3. In the same processor (no need to wash), combine roasted eggplant, yogurt, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Transfer baba ganoush to a bowl.
4. In a small bowl, toss olives with capers and oregano.
5. Arrange hummus, baba ganoush, and marinated olives on a large platter. Drizzle hummus with olive oil and sprinkle paprika. Serve with pita or crackers.

Tips

• Hummus and baba ganoush can be made a day ahead; refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving.
• Garnish with fresh parsley or pine nuts for extra flair.
• Add other items like stuffed grape leaves or feta cheese to customize the platter.
