That food "Hummus" seems to be a popular Jewish food, too. A Jewish friend of mine in Buenos Aires often makes that. I've never tried yet, but on the basis of your recipe I might.

There are many Hummus foods here, too: http://www.ummah.com/family/

I use olive oil, lemon juice and cumin when I make hummus. I use the liquid from the beans only if it is too thick. When it is finished, I spread in a serving platter and garnish with cumin and paprika. What I would like to know is how is it made without a food procesor - does anyone know? It probably is quite labor intensive.
