Israeli Tahini Cottage Cheese Dip
Method
Place the cottage cheese, tahini and Greek yogurt in a food processor.
Add the lemon juice, grated garlic, cumin, black pepper and a small pinch of salt.
Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Transfer the dip to a shallow serving bowl.
Use the back of a spoon to create soft swirls across the surface.
Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with sweet paprika, parsley and mint.
Serve with fresh vegetables, wholegrain crackers or warm wholemeal pita.
Chef's Tip
Tahini can vary in thickness, so if the dip feels too dense, add a small amount of water or extra lemon juice and blend again. For the best flavour, let the dip sit for 10–15 minutes before serving.
