A Lebanese friend taught me this recipe. I substituted Japanese nerigoma sesame paste for the tahini to make the preparations easier for myself since I live in Japan, but use what you have available!Although it takes more effort, it tastes better if you make this with cooked dry chickpeas instead of canned. Let the dip rest for several hours in the refrigerator before serving it to let the flavors settle in and round out the taste of the garlic. If you think "maybe it's not quite spicy enough" when you taste the dip right after it's made, it should become just right after having it sit for some time. Tahini (sesame paste) is hard to get in Japan, so I substituted in nerigoma sesame paste which is just a tad thicker in consistency. If you don't have nerigoma either, you can just try adding about a teaspoon of sesame oil. Recipe by nohunohu

Niebe is highly nutritious and has great flavor. Smoked paprika would also be great (no need to add cumin in that case).

Two of my grandparents were from Lebanon, thus I grew up eating and loving Middle Eastern food. This is how I make hummus these days. Note: A Nutribullet-kind of blender will yield a smoother hummus than a food processor will.#GoldenApron23 #appetizer #party

this is so fast and easy. It is served with Lebanon or Arabic bread. we also use it as a dip for the grilled chicken wraps. very yummy

This hummus that my Turkish friend had made was so delicious! I was amazed. I asked for the ingredients and made it myself. It has such a satisfying flavor.Peel the thin skins off the boiled chickpeas and then boil them again. This is the secret to creating a smooth paste.Turkish Tortillas =Turkish Pizza =For an easy to make amount. Recipe by Kuminchan

Tzatziki dip....classic Greek appetizer...there was a time when I was obsessed with Greek food...specially the dips...Everytime we went out I would insist on going to a restaurant which served authentic Greek food so that I could order a meze platter...but then I decided to make it at home so I could enjoy it whenever I wanted...and one of those dips is this easy to make and healthy tzatziki sauce or dip...it can be made in advance and is a perfect condiment for burgers or as a dip for pita bread or veggies...This is my contribution to #CookClick
