My Habibi, wants hummus!

On my trip to Arab world, I was invited to a social gathering where belly dancers moved so naturally their bone and muscle structure, with movements emanating from the torso rather than in the legs and feet.

I didn't know what to eat so many delicious foods to choose from. I looked around to see if anyone can help me and then she appeared.

She shouted: "My habibi (my darling), wants hummus!"

I asked, "What is hummus?"

She said,"Hummus is a delicious dip made of chickpeas, olive oil, paprika, lemon juice, salt and pepper for taste"

This is where my love for hummus started.

Check out the famous dip for yourself and remember your habibi might want some too.
