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.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me.
