THE STAR HUMMUS OF THE APERO
Hummus contains chickpeas which, like all legumes, provide vegetable protein.
Literally, #hummus means chickpea in Arabic. The more exact term to designate the preparation originating in the Near East based on chickpeas, sesame puree, lemon juice and garlic is: Hummus bil tahini or hummus bil tahini.
To be enjoyed on crispy blinis, on toast, with pita bread or breadsticks, you are spoiled for choice to spend a convivial and gourmet moment around this delicate dish.
And to surprise the taste buds of your guests, consider using the base of bil tahine hummus by flavoring it with paprika or coriander and adding beets or red peppers.
