Hummus is so common these days that its almost as close to having street food. But getting the hummus right, with the right flavors and using ingredients from your own kitchen shelf and making do with what is available in the market, makes this recipe different. I typically like to experiment with difference flavors when it comes to hummus and this flavor has been  my closest baby. Roasted red peppers taste delicious with olives and parsely. Try it and you are sure to please your palate. I have used fresh sesame seeds here to substitute for tahini. Tahini is nothing but sesame ground to a puree along with olive oil.

A classic favorite, home made cottage cheese with roasted red bell peppers and black olives makes a great dip for entertaining or even use it as a spread on your bread when making a sandwich. 

This Greek dip is made with yogurt that is hung in a muslin cloth until it releases all its whey and has a think an creamy consistency. Flavored with garlic, parsley and chilli flakes, makes it a perfect accompaniment. Serve it as an appetizer, along with a meal, spread or just like that, its sure to make your meal linger on.
