HUMMUS BI TAHINA
An Egyptian version of an Arab
dish. Tahina is a sesame paste (to
be found in Oriental stores* in
London), which is mixed with oil
and garlic and thinned with water
to make a sauce which in Arab
countries is eaten as a salad, with
bread dipped into it.
For this hors d’œuvre the
ingredients are ½ lb of chick peas,
a teacupful each of tahina and
water; a little lemon juice, mint,
garlic, and two tablespoons of
olive oil.
