After a much needed lazy day, I've whipped up this classic dip. I was prompted by a young woman from my cooking class last week that said she had just moved to Davis and wanted to know where she could get some great hummus. I replied that I had this fabulous recipe from a tattered old book I borrowed from Michael's mom; the 1969 Time-Life series called 'Foods of the World.' This one was on Middle Eastern Cooking and the 'Hummus bi Tahina' recipe that was on page one has been my go-to hummus recipe ever since. I have never tasted hummus this good except for in a Middle Eastern restaurant. Serve with my homemade pita chips.
