I would eat foods that were made famous thousands of years ago such as hummus, tahini, pitta bread, olives from the Holy Land, dates and figs. |
One of the cheapest and easiest 'deli' foods to make, hummus is essentially chickpeas pureed with tahini and other flavours added. |
This potato and chickpea paste is rolled out like dough and filled with sauteed onion, pinenuts, currants, allspice, and tahini. |
For the hummus, place the chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice and tahini in a food processor with two teaspoons of the cumin. |
Place the chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, tahini paste, seasoning and Greek yoghurt in a food processor and mix to make the hummus. |
Make the dressing by mixing the yoghurt, tahini paste and olive oil in a blender or with a small whisk. |
