Hummous is a chickpea pate of Middle-Eastern origins. It is a spicy and rich spread, full of protein. You can use it as a sandwich spread or an appetizer dip (scoop it up with pieces of pocket bread and sticks of raw vegetables). You can also build an entire meal around a plateful of hummous, vegetables and bread, its light, easily digested, and is perfect for those long hot summer nights.

Note: Begin soaking your chickpeas early in the day
