"This is an Egyptian recipe from a culinary learning packet that my DD received at ACCC culinary school. I have rewritten the directions to make them clearer. I have not tried it."

Nice healthy dip to enjoy at a girls night out. I did use roasted garlic.<br/>made for veggie tag.

Excellent recipe! I followed it to the letter except that I cut back the olive oil a bit because I can't have too much fat. Will make this again for sure :) Thanks for sharing!<br/>Made for Ramadan Tag 2012 / N*A*M*E Forum
