Thanks for posting.

I make hummus regularly; my sons like it spread on bread like peanut butter, or rolled into a tortilla.

Variations that are enjoyed by us include:
1. Adding some wasabi or horseradish to give it a bit of sinus-clearing zing! (some people might notice a slight bitterness, others wont)

2. Adding some pressure-cooked lentils. Makes for an earthier taste, color becomes somewhat greenish-brown; healthier since lentils provide a couple of the aminoacids that sesame and garbanzo lack.

Experiments with adding olives or soybeans or mushrooms were given a thumbs-down by the family.

Chicken Fatteh

The word Fatteh generally refers to any meal that contains pieces of fried or roasted bread. Some examples are Hummus Fatteh, Eggplant Fatteh,and chicken Fatteh, which is our recipe for today.

Ingredients:

1 small chicken
I onion
1 cup rice
1 pita bread
500 gms sour yogurt
3 garlic cloves
Spices and seasoning to taste

Preparation:

Clean and season the chicken to taste (salt, pepper, cardamom seeds, and nutmeg). Peel the onion and place the whole onion with the chicken and a cup of water in a chicken oven bag. Roast in the oven over medium heat. Leave to cook for one hour (or more according to the weight of the chicken.) Cut the pita bread into small square pieces and fry them. Cook the rice. Place the bread in the bottom of the serving pan (which needs to be a semi-deep dish.) After the chicken is cooked, pour the chicken stock onto the bread and mix with one crushed garlic clove and one spoon of cooked rice. Place the remaining rice on top of the bread and chicken stock combination and make sure it's fully covered. Mix the two remaining crushed garlic cloves into the yogurt and pour the combination over the rice and bread. Remove the bones from the chicken, and place the chicken pieces on top of the yogurt. Serve immediately.
Optional garnish: fried pine seeds and fresh parsley.

What's for Dinner? Lentils and Rice

Tonight, it's an easy Middle East dish of lentils and rice.

Ingredients

3 T. oil
1 large onion, minced
2 t. salt
1 c. lentils
1 c. rice
3 1/2 c. water
plus spices

Directions

Chop up the onion and saute it in the oil along with the salt. Once the onion is soft, toss in the water and lentils and stir. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes. Add in the rice, stir, and cover again. Let that simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for at least 5 more minutes to let any remaining liquid get absorbed.

It's pretty good without the spices, but I like it best with a more robust taste. Use whatever you like, but I commonly use curry powder, garlic powder, cayenne powder, basil, oregano, and bay leaf to the onion and stirred it around for a few minutes before adding the water and continuing on.

Now I have made the Tahini, but no chick peas or garbanzo beans, suppose I could try some similar sort of bean.
