i had this post in my draft for a long time. i think its finally time to publish one by one!! I and my hubby are big fans of Middle east food.. we just love it. its very easy to prepare compared to our Indian food and i think its much more healthier. During our vacation to the Middle East we both were eating like some crazy people who came from the land of NO food! LOLs!!!

I found this awesome book Lebanese Cooking by in our library here and it has a delicious hummus recipe.  I tried many of the recipes from the book and all came out good. For those who are a big fan of Kubboos and hummus and shawarmas should try this book!
i just make this once a month and refrigerate it.  during lazy day s i just buy some kubboos and grill a chicken and eat it with hummus.. yumm and healthy  and easy too! :)
here goes the recipe.
1.5 cups of chick peas soaked overnight
about 2 cloves of garlic
1/4 cup tahini
1/2 cup lemon juice
a pinch of cayenne pepper
2 tbsp of chopped parsley for garnish
salt to taste
  • Cook the chickpeas with salt until tender. Run it through the food processor till smooth. Add the garlic,tahini and lemon to it and mix well till its a creamy consistency. Adjust the salt and lemon according to your taste. Garnish with cayenne pepper and parsley.
