I am proud to say I was not late to this party. I’ve been a card carrying member of the “Lover’s of Hummus” movement since before the turn of the last century. But it wasn’t until I moved to Israel that I started eating hummus for B, L +D. Since my aliyah 5 years ago I now eat hummus…
With my morning eggs…
As a spread on my lunchtime sandwiches…
As a light dinner with sauteed mushrooms and onions…
And you should too!
You can buy some great hummus, but it is even better when you make your own. Watch how I make my favorite Lemon Lover’s Hummus here.
Now that you have your favorite Hummus, set up a Hummus Bar. It’s one of the most decidedly Israeli ways to kick off a party or simply a family dinner.
And sample these 28 hummus recipes to turn your home into your own personal hummuseria.













Heads Up!!!!! All fruits that have casks need to be washed off carefully with soap and water. If you see there are little black dots on or embedded in the skin of any of your fruits please be aware they are “fly larvae” and considered not kosher. Take a scrubby that you don’t mind tossing out after cleaning the lemon or whatever other fruit casks and clean the surface of the lemon or other fruits making sure not putting too much pressure as you don’t want to rupture the skin just clean it well. Wash, dry, if you like, and use.
Jamie, you wrote a fantastic post! I had never heard of hummus until my vacation to Israel last summer. Hummus is a creamy dip that is highly nutritious because it has all of the primary ingredients, which come under the category of superfood rich in nutrition. You may spread the creamy dip on sandwiches or use it as a sauce for pasta.
