Nan bread and hummus
Run time: 00:01:36.19
QuickTime (6.7 MB)
Hummus (houmous, hommus, or humus) is a dip made of chickpea paste with various additions, such as olive oil, fresh garlic, lemon juice, paprika, and tahini (sesame seed paste). It is popular all over the Middle East including Syria, Lebanon, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, though the hummus eaten in Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus is quite different from the hummus eaten in the Arab world and in Israel. It is traditionally scooped up with flatbread (pieces of pita) to be eaten.
In this case, I am using Nan (or Naan) bread, a yeast free bread from India to do the scooping.
