Why Hummus deserves more attention

Hummus rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The bright and balanced complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using za'atar correctly takes real skill.

the cuisine shares roots with the broader Levantine tradition. I encountered it first in a family Sunday lunch and that context helped me understand it properly. arak is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Hummus is the dish to start with.
