I believe that food is more than just survival, it’s about comfort, love, and bringing people together.

February 12 2025 Best Layered Hummus Dip, Sumac Salad with Cucumber, Tomatoes and Parsley, Mediterranean Style Toasted Orzo with Sundried Tomatoes and Parmesan

This is a Suzy Karadsheh recipe from the Mediterranean Dish website.  It’s one of our favorites.  I did make the hummus from scratch.  The way I usually serve this one is to get a big platter, spread the hummus, then put the hamburger mixture on top, then a layer of fresh tomatoes.  I love the seasonings for the meat.  It calls for allspice, sumac, and cinnamon. 

The Sumac salad complimented the meat dish really well.  I also had some garlic nan to eat with the dip.

The toasted orzo was a hit, even though I didn’t have any sundried tomatoes.  Oh well.  It was still really good.  I’ve been liking orzo lately, have used it several times.
