Hummus is one of the best-known and most popular dishes of Middle Eastern cuisine, a pureed chickpea-based cream. Hummus is flavored with garlic, tahini (sesame seed paste), lemon juice and olive oil to create a creamy, rich flavor. There are many variations of hummus, each with its own unique seasoning and ingredients, but the classic version is popular all over the world.
Hummus can be eaten not only as a stand-alone dish, but also as a great accompaniment to pita bread, fresh vegetables or even grilled meats. It is easy to prepare, extremely nutritious and a healthy alternative to traditional sauces. A real treat for fans of Middle Eastern cuisine!
