Hummus Amba
1 serving
60 minutes
This is how hummus is prepared in the Moscow hummusia "Abu Ghosh". For this dish you need yellow mango, its aroma and taste are more appropriate here: it is sweeter than other varieties. The mango needs to be cut into small cubes and mixed into the hummus. But that's not all: so that the chickpeas and tahini do not overpower its fresh taste, you will also need to pour amba sauce, which is made from mango, on top of the hummus. This will finally secure the union of fruit and hummus. This dish can be considered a dessert. And if you eat it with our thin unleavened wheat flatbreads , it is also a very satisfying dessert, almost like a pie
