Hummus

Hummus, a must with fresh pita bread, is the dish that has made Middle Eastern food famous. Every country there has a favorite bean or legume from which they make their creamy, seasoned dips. Tahini, an important ingredient, is a paste made from ground sesame seeds. It tastes a bit more bitter than nut butters, but is the perfect foil to the sweet chickpeas in this hummus. Some people like their hummus real garlicky, others like it milder. Give each person a whole pita and let them tear pie
