• You'll need a 2-quart bowl or small trifle dish for these dips. Scoop them out with a big spoon; each dip serves about 8.

BULGUR: Bring 1/3 cup water to a boil; add 1/3 cup bulgur, season with salt and simmer over low heat, covered, until tender, 10 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and fluff with a fork; let cool. TZATZIKI: Combine 1/2 cup each plain Greek yogurt and diced cucumber, 1 tablespoon each lemon juice and olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. GRILLED VEGETABLES: Heat a grill pan or grill to medium-high heat. Cook eggplant and zucchini, turning until tender, about 8 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop. Layer all ingredients in the bowl, from bottom to top, in this order: hummus, olives, grilled vegetables, tzatziki, bulgur, chopped tomato salad, and feta. Serve with pita chips.

7-LAYER DIP - GREEK STYLE

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!
