Hummus With Tahini Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Hummus is probably one of the best known middle eastern foods due to its popularity worldwide. The chickpea-based dip can be found in most conventional grocery stores in north america and on many non-middle eastern restaurant menus. The word hummus comes from the egyptian word for chickpeas, the typical primary ingredient, although lots of other beans can be used instead. Variations of the modern-day hummus recipe can be found as early as the 13th century in egyptian cookbooks. Hummus is typically served as part of an appetizer (or mezze) tray alongside falafel, eggplant, and tahini sauce. Fresh or toasted pita bread, as well as vegetables, can be dipped into it. It also makes a filling and nutritious snack. It's often flavored with spices, such as cumin or sumac, and can be served garnished with olive oil, chopped tomatoes, cucumber slices, parsley or cilantro, chickpeas, and pine nuts. The ready availability of the ingredients to make hummus is partly responsible for its popularity in countries like egypt, jordan, and syria. And, its compatibility with both meat and dairy makes it suitable for jewish dietary laws and, therefore, popular in israel.
