One of my favourite Middle East dip is hummus. It is a simple dip to make and best eaten with pita bread and sweet basil. There's a sweet story behind this dish. The very first time i tasted hummus is when one of my colleague introduced it in one of our potluck/cooking-sharing session in the school where i taught previously. Being a foodie like me.. we've grown quite close. It was later that year, i received a call from her...after confirming a few facts abt my family..soon we realized that i am her aunt! what a small world.. so..whenever i made this dip.. it surely reminds me of her.. :)
