Great recipe, closest to the greatest hummus on the planet... which is at Turkey Central in downtown Doha Qatar.... Its missing the noon call to prayer for the full affect, but its a close second. Add a dash of smoked paprika to the top and for color and addl flavor and I drizzled a little extra olive oil on top..<br/><br/>Made it again, and added a a 1/2 tsp of Tandori Masala this time... that was the finishing touch.

Excellent. Sent it off to a work potluck with a bunch of Arabic co-workers. Served with pita bread. Made for team SSaSSy for ZWT6.

A nice tasting spread that I served with whole wheat crackers. I quartered the recipe and it worked out fine. Thanks Scarlett!
