A thought on hummus, actually.

[chimp3]

Approximating my Grandmothers Hummus recipe ( She showed me how when I was 10-11 years old) :

Add juice of 1/2 lemon to 1/8 cup H20.
Add 1/2 cup tahini to above.
Whip with whisk until incorporated and tahini is whitish and nearly fluffy.
Add 2 cups pureed cooked garbanzos
Fold in garlic to taste
Salt to taste

Serve drizzled in olive oil with pita bread.

Most sprinkle with paprika but Nana used to sprinkle with a little sumac (look it up)!

I've had BRG (steak) with sumac at a Persian restaurant. I don't care for the taste of sumac. Depending on the type of paprika, it can be for color or for (spicy) heat, or both.

An aquired taste I suppose. Sumac is not typically served with hummus. However, it is an ingredient of zatar. Ever sampled?

And I agree that steak and  sumac is not an appealing idea!
