I love the Middle Eastern mezze, a selection of small dishes served as appetizers. Mezze has a strong tradition in Tukey<\/a> and other Middle Eastern countries like Lebanon<\/a> or Saudi Arabia<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mezze almost always consists of hummus (chickpea \u2013 sesame spread) and baba ghanoush<\/a> (eggplant- sesame dip) served with warm pita bread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other items such as sambousek (pastries filled with minced meat and nuts), tabouleh<\/a> (cous cous and parsley salad) and more are also added, but hummus and baba ghanoush are always present when mezze is served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rich creamy sesame paste called tahini is really the \u201cmain ingredient\u201d in both spreads and the strong, nutty, almost smoky taste of it, is what makes this spread so flavorful and distinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy this classic hummus recipe by Chef Thomas Wenger!<\/p>\n\n\n
