Hello everybody.
Being locked in this snow storm made many people creative or let me say willing to try stuff that are usually bought ready like hummus and falafel.
Hummus is high in iron and Vitamin C plus folate and Vit B6 and a good source of dietry fibers,it’s very useful in vegetarian diets to compensate protein.
It’s not that difficult to make them from sctratch,I know many folks specially living abroad who always do, but in countries like us,the easiest cheapest meal is always a hummus plate with falafel or hummus fatteh, no need for all the fuss in the kitchen.
My cousin living in Greece made a a delicious hummus last week so I thought to share the recipe with you.
Ingredients and method:
* 2 cups of soaked ( a night before) boiled till done chickpeas.
* 1 big spoonful tahini saice.

To make Humus Fatteh which is a Levant dish done mainly in Syria,Lebanon,Palestine and Jordan.you’ll need:
