HUMMUS RECIPE

HUMMUS RECIPE

A dip made from cooked chickpeas mashed together with the lovely tahini sauce ,lemon juice, garlic and olive oil.

A middle eastern treat which goes well together with vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian appetisers. This.This wonderful dip can also be served alone with pita chips/salads and other snacks.It blends wonderfully with vegetarian dishes and enhances the taste of many meat based appetizers as well.

Recently,I had this rich sauce/dip with the lovely shawarma roll and beetroot salad.Oh!! it was delicious and it left a wonderful aftertaste in my mouth, which I still remember.

This recipe here is my adaptation from many recipes I have tried recently but couldn’t get that exact flavor which I was searching for.Then I made changes accordingly to taste.And This recipe I can say is the nearest to the market style I have eaten .I also have a tahini sauce recipe on my blog on the link below.
