Hummus or hummus bi tahini (Template:Lang-ar; Template:Lang-he; Armenian համոս) also spelled hamos, houmous, hommus, hummous or humus) is a dip made of ground chickpeas, sesame tahini, lemon juice, and garlic.
In Arabic the word hummus is used to describe the dish or just chickpeas on their own. The full name of the dish is hummus bi tahina (Template:Lang-ar) 'chickpeas with tahini'.
Hummus is popular in various local forms throughout the Middle Eastern world, but its origins are unknown.
Hummus can be garnished in numerous ways, including sprinkling parsley, paprika, cumin (popular in Egypt), pine nuts(traditional in Palestinian hummus ), tomatoes, cucumber, thinly-sliced onions, sautéed mushrooms, or with whole chickpeas over top before drizzling with olive oil.
Hummus is traditionally scooped with flatbread (such as pita), but is increasingly popular as a dip for tortilla chips outside the Middle East. Hummus is also used as an appetizer dish to accompany main courses, as part of a meze, and as a dressing (for such things as falafel, Israeli salad, grilled chicken, and eggplant). In Israel, a hummus sandwich is the popular equivalent of a child's peanut butter and jelly sandwich in America.
Hummus is a nutritious food, suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and contains a large amount of dietary fiber, iron, and (depending on the recipe) varying amounts of monounsaturated fat.
Popular variations
- Hummus Ful (pronounced /fuːl/), which is hummus topped with a paste made from fava beans boiled until soft and then crushed into a mush.
- Hummus Masubha/Mashawsha, a mixture of hummus paste, warm chickpeas and tahina.
- Hummus mahluta, which is hummus paste covered with a combination of ful paste and warm chick peas.
Product recall
In February 2007 some UK supermarkets recalled certain hummus brands after the Marks and Spencer company found traces of salmonella in a variety of the product.
