Hummus (of hoemoes gespel en as ‘goemoes’ uitgespreek) is ’n bekende Griekse kekerertjie-‘patee’. Die veelsydige happie is heerlik om op soveel verskillende maniere te gebruik.

This well-known, yet simple Middle Eastern chickpea condiment is super versatile and equally healthy – definitely more than just a dip for veggies.
