Hummus with sumac
1 serving
60 minutes
Hummus with sumac is a true embodiment of Arabic cuisine flavors, combining tenderness and spiciness. Hummus made from chickpea puree with added sour cream, tahini, lemon juice, and aromatic spices achieves a soft creamy texture. Sumac, known for its light tanginess, gives the appetizer a special sophistication, while fresh green onions and juicy cherry tomatoes add freshness and color play. The serving is complemented by warm crispy pita fried in olive oil that perfectly absorbs the flavors of the hummus. This is not just a dish but part of an ancient gastronomic tradition inspired by the richness of Eastern aromas. Hummus with sumac is an ideal choice for both friendly gatherings and cozy dinners that open doors to the world of Eastern cuisine.
