    * Have fun with this one.. I just googled it..

    Main Entry: hum·mus
    Pronunciation: ˈhə-məs
    Function: noun
    Etymology: Arabic ḥummuṣ chickpeas
    Date: 1949
    : a paste of pureed chickpeas usually mixed with sesame oil or sesame paste and eaten as a dip or sandwich spread
    Well I guess I can't say it's all "Greek" to me.. But all "Arabic" to me... I love chickpeas in salads and side dishes.. but can't get use to Hummus..
    Be well my friend! :flowerforyou:

    i LOVE hummus. I could eat an entire tub of it so I dont keep it around the house but it is good for you in small portions. try all the different flavors, red pepper, green chile etc. Easy to make. 1 can garbanzo beans, a little olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic...blend and voila!

    You're all pronouncing it wrong. It's pronounced:

    de-lect-o-bean.

    :wink:

    Something else that is good and often sold around hummus is tabbouleh! I like to put a tbsp or two on the hummus in a tortilla! YUM!

    It is good with just some pita chips/pita bread too! But it adds a nice tanginess!!
