Hummus to Start the Meal

I’ve said this over and over but when you have something out for your guests to eat and drink, you can mostly take your time with the rest of the food. 

My favorite hummus recipe is easy and lately I’ve been topping it with ground lamb and pine nuts, but a few olives on the edge of the plate and a good drizzle of olive oil are just as good. 

I’ve been getting my tahini online from Soom Foods and it’s so much easier to work with than a bottle or can from the grocery store that has been sitting there so too long. And it’s delicious and I’ll be re-ordering.

Quality chickpeas are also essential.

  1. great idea, Steve, thanks, always need these ideas to fend off hungry folks like my family who show up at 6 pm on the nose for a 6 pm invite…The nerve!
    With you on old tahini, I have a collection.

  2. Yum! I love dicing up olives, cucumbers, tomatoes and herbs to top my hummus and serve along side cut baguette. I agree, tempting guests with delicious food while one is preparing the meal works well. I have to look into the tahini you recommend – thanks!
