7-Layer Dip - Greek Style image

This is like the classic Mexican 7-layer dip, only in a Mediterranean way! I sometimes make this and leave the meat out - it is still good and vegetarian thataway! Serve with fresh-baked pita chips. I estimated amounts, use more or less to your taste. Serving size is approximate too.

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups hummus
1/2 lb ground lamb
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped seeded cucumber
1/2 cup chopped seeded tomatoes
1 cup tzatziki (Greek yogurt dip)
1/4 cup chopped kalamata olive
1/4 teaspoon of fresh mint, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Spread hummus on platter. I usually use a pretty garlicky kind, stir in some olive oil and lemon zest, a little cayenne.
  • Brown lamb - can use beef or turkey- in skillet with garlic and some oregano and marjoram. Drain well. I usually brown my meet, drain and rinse it with boiling water and then add some spices. Layer meat on top of hummus.
  • Layer onion, cucumbers, tomatoes and tzaziki (greek yogurt dip). The amounts I gave are approximate, use more or less to your preference.
  • Scatter olives and mint over top. Serve with fresh-baked pita chips and watch it dissappear!
