today was the first time i have eaten hummus. i only wanted to try it because i see a lot of you guys talk about eating it as an appetizer. so i thought the next time my husband and i go out im going to try it. and i did and it was actually pretty good. i say that because i am a picky eater and most eastern food i just don't like, so i was suprised at how good it was. also i wonder if any one has ever cooked lentils and if so how do you cook them. i tried the lentil soup and fell in love with it. thx:smile:

    i'm not sure about lentils, but i got my husband addicted to hummus! usually he's against anything 'healthy' but i eat veggies and hummus while we're watching tv! (I know i shouldn't but some habits are harder than others :wink: )

    at least its veggies and hummus and not chocolate chip cookies or a big bag of chips. Mmm!:wink:
  • I make lentil soup from time to time. I love it and so do the kids. I put lentils, carrots, potatoes and usually chop up some type of smoked meat (usually ham) and put it in there along with a smoked hock for flavor. Off the top of my head, I cannot remember how much liquid (water or chicken stock) but I believe if you buy a bag of dried lentils it tells on the bag the ratio of liquid. I put all the stuff in a crock pot on low and let it go all day :happy:

    I'm with you on the hummus! It's one of my favorite foods. My husband used to coach a soccer team that was very diverse. We had several middle eastern families on the team and I was lucky. The girls used to bring me homemade hummus :tongue:
