Levant
Fresh herbs, chickpeas and mezze.
Practical advice
Hummus combines soft chickpeas, tahini, lemon and garlic. Water adjusts texture; this version contains sesame. One preparation is a starting point, not an overview of Levantine cuisines.

Practical notes
This hummus combines cooked chickpeas, tahini, lemon and garlic. Serve small portions with bread or vegetables, counted separately. The Levant includes several traditions; this is a domestic version rather than a claim to one definitive recipe. Tahini contributes sesame flavour and texture, not just oil. Check sesame allergens, choose very tender chickpeas and add water gradually to reach the texture suited to spreading or dipping.
