Easy & delicious!! Taste authentic. I make this with beef Shawarma. My husband and kids LOVE it!!! Thanks for sharing! -
So easy and delicious. It was a great side for chicken I cooked with garlic, onion, lemon juice and spices. I'll make this again for sure. Thanks. -
Delicious! -
Exactly how I make what I call Lebanese rice. I use olive oil instead of vegetable oil and always use my homemade chicken stock. I cook it for 15-17 minutes. After it's cooked I fluff it with a fork and place paper towels around the rim of the cooking pot and close it tightly. This prevents the rice from becoming too sticky. -

My name is Louie, and my nick name is Hommus, because I love Hommus,its delicious.
I guess having Hommus as a nick name is better than having Baba Ghannous (Arabic Dip) as a nick name.
I am of Palestinian orgin and a happily married man for 33 years. I own a Business , (retail Clothing) but I love cooking, its my hobby. I like to cook Arabic Dishes and also recipes from all around the world. I learned my Arabic recipes from my mother . who is a super great cook. In fact my favorite cookbook is the recipes I learned from my Mother.
Recently I started to use the slow cooker and I noticed the difference in the flavor.
