With any of these recipes... | Chop and add any of these before chickpeas:
Add any of these spices: cumin; hot pepper; coriander; black pepper; garam masala. Substitute any of these liquids: soy sauce; orange or lime juice or balsamic vinegar instead of lemon juice. Low fat: use only a little tahini; eliminate oil. | |||||
Hummus sandwich suggestions... | I prefer 5-cereals whole bread with it, and
light rye bread as a second choice. Arab bread is nice, as is pita, but normal
white is, as usual, never recommended.
