This creamy spread combines soft cream cheese with aromatic garlic, oregano, chili powder, and cumin for a gentle kick. After a brief mix, it chills to allow the flavours to meld beautifully. It is finished with a dusting of paprika and served alongside homemade pita chips for a delightful snack or appetiser. The entire preparation takes only 15 minutes, though chilling time is extra.
