Thanks for the post. I tried it and it tastes really good. Of course you can buy hommus in ever supermartket nowadays but I think it is always better if you make food by yourself...to me it always tastes better than the "bought version". If you have another Lebanese recipe that needs to be translated or any need of an Arabic translation service service commission a professional.
