Hummus
Beans have diverse uses and can take on many
different flavors. Besides, beans have good protein and are rich in soluble
fiber. Hummus is a middle Eastern chickpea puree increasingly enjoyed
far beyond the mid-East. True mid-Eastern cooks have their own distinctively
flavored hummus, but the recipe that follows is a good beginning with
or without its chilies.
