Snacking while eGulleting... (Part 3)

Dutch goat's cheese (Le Chevre) with smoked Gordal olives and sweet chilli peppers

I'm stocking up on 'open-hearted nuts', the literal translation of the Chinese name for pistachios. Trying to maximise my hoard before the price doubles. 99% of our pistachios come from the USA.

This may not seem much to get excited about to most of you but I can explain.

 

1) Hummus is almost unknown here and difficult to find.

 

2) Because of its unavailability, to satisfy my hummus needs, in the past, I’ve made it from scratch. All the ingredients are available. However, I have to make the tahini, too. It is equally difficult to find. Although I’ve made the tahini and then the hummus many times, it’s a grind (literally). 

 

Hummus Ingredients

 

So for me, it’s fun to just open a tub of this very good hummus imported from Lebanon. I buy the regular type but it also comes in a number of flavours: with za-atar; with red peppers; with red hot chilli.

 

 

 

$3.50 USD / 215g a tub plus delivery $0.55 no matter how many tubs I buy.

A bargain! I love hummus but would be seriously challenged if I needed to make the tahini first. 🙂
