Humma Humma ... Hummus???

Katherine!

Maybe... Cumin is my secret ingredient [in everything from egg - or tuna - salad to cole slaw, stir-fries, soups].

Cumin is sexy!

Thanks for the hat tip!

A topic for debate: Is cumin the chickpea of spices?

Evidence: Versatile, delicious in any quantity, crops up in many cuisines, but most predominantly Indian and Latin American, makes any dish feel a little fancier, etc.

I eat hummus year round and don't find it any more appealing in the spring. But then again, I have food issues and cannot be relied upon for normal responses to foods.

Thanks for an interesting topic.

What is it about April and hummus? My, we must have a massive group think going on. I've been thinking about hummus for weeks. Food bloggers psychically connect!

Hey Alanna! Thanks for the shout out.

I love my hummus with a big plate of roasted vegetables... Hmmm. Now I'm hungry!

I use it in lieu of mayo or other "stick-together" spreads in sandwiches and roll ups. And, yes, I tend to buy it in the warmer weather instead of winter. Will have to check out the recipes to make my own.

I bought chickpeas yesterday - even before I read this - to make a special hummus recipe I have been coveting which involves the preserved lemons I have been waiting 30 days for.

There is something telepathic going on with these chickpeas for sure. I just created a recipe for Marinated Mini-Pepper Salad with Chickpeas and Olives that I'll be posting next Tuesday for Sweetnicks ( http://sweetnicks.blogspot.com ) ARF event (that's anti-oxidant rich foods for you non foodies). Chickpeas are a "good" carb for the South Beach Diet so I can't wait to check out all the hummus recipes.
