The word “hummus” means “chickpea” in Arabic and Hebrew. Although it has many different spellings: hommos, hoummous, houmos, oumos, humus, hummus…one thing’s for sure: hummus makes you happy. Packed with super properties, creamy and rich at the same time, it’s as good as an aperitif as it is as a side dish. So, in these chilly days, we’ve come up with six addresses to make this Middle Eastern dish your winter must-have.
Chiche
A warm pita, fresh from the oven, and the generous hummus we love. That’s Chiche’s recipe for happiness! In fact, there are so many different recipes to choose from, you’ll never get bored: tomato and harissa, eggplant, beef and paprika… For lunch or brunch, you’ll just love it!
