HummusThis is a great snack for any time of year. I personally serve it with Kalamata olives and sometimes even diced cucumber and/or bell pepper. Keep in mind that after blending, fine-tuning the mixture with slightly more tahini and/or lemon juice is often needed (see step 3). As a footnote, tahini is what gives the hummus its creamy… |

Eggplant Dip Recipe - Baba GanoushBaba Ganoush, a Middle Eastern eggplant dip, is very similar to hummus, except it is made with eggplant. If you like eggplants, like me, you will definitely make this a staple dish. I cook it often and use it as a dip (for snacks) or meals in between the main meals. |

Hummus & Greek SaladI decided to go healthy one night and went Arabic and Greek! Some of you may be familiar with hummus which is made from chick peas and the latter is pretty simple using feta cheese and lots of other fresh produce. Both are to be eaten with kubus (pita bread). The Greek salad was inspired by a book titled Vegetarian by Love Food. |

Turkish Red Pepper & Walnut DipI've had this appetizer numerous times at my favorite nearby Turkish restaurant, New Kapadokia. I finally made it myself for a number of guests and it was a big hit. Slightly sweet, slightly spicy, and very flavorful. I served it with high quality hummus and babaganoush, and the red pepper dip was the most popular. Give it a try! |
