0.25

0.5

one 4–6 oz. container of feta

a knob of cream cheese or a spoonful Greek yogurt

1 small clove garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil

1–2 tablespoons harissa paste (2 tablespoons would be medium spicy)

one 14-ounce can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes

two 14-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained

squeeze of lemon juice

2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)

1/4 cup golden raisins (optional but sweet and yummy)

4 pieces pita or naan

1 lemon, cut into wedges

In a small chopper or food processor, pulse the feta, cream cheese, and garlic until mostly smooth and creamy and “whipped.” Add a little water as needed to loosen it up.

Add the olive oil to a pan over medium high heat. Add garlic and harissa paste; sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add tomatoes and chickpeas. Mix and simmer for 4-5 minutes. Using a potato masher or similar tool, mash some of the chickpeas so the mixture becomes a little more creamy. Season with lemon juice, salt, and parsley. Stir in the raisins. Add a little bit of water if you need to to keep everything nice and saucy.

Serve harissa chickpeas on a plate with all your faves. Top with whipped feta and anything else you like (aka all of it. everything.).
