This is a recipe I haven’t made in some time.
I will say that it is so damn tasty that you could eat a bowl of it with some decent crackers.
This stuff is awesome on hotdogs, burgers, pasta, potatoes and just about anything else you
can think of.
Just make sure you make enough!

This recipe was from an email to my daughter, Sarah, from my wife, Pamn
The dish came out great and the email is priceless. (spacing courtesy of me)
The recipe is awesome and the video has some nasty cuss words.
Sorry.
YouTube can be fickle and leave you no options.
Enjoy, folks

This is a recipe I’ve culled over the years and to be honest, is one of the very best hummus recipes around.

Make sure to get the freshest Syrian bread you can find.
Some nice olives help, too.
You will need:
1- can of [...]
