Rolling Couscous with Friends

Apparently, couscous doesn’t only come in a box…It even has it’s own dedicated pot.

Creamy, nutty, garlicky, lemony—this is how hummus should taste. Tub hummus isn’t bad (if you know what brands to buy ) but it still doesn’t stack up against freshly made hummus scooped straight from the food processor. Craving a real hummus recipe, packed with spices and loaded with garlic, I tracked down chef Michael Ginor of the Israeli restaurant TLV in Great Neck, NY. Ginor pimps out hummus with a warmed chickpea and tomato “stew” that’s kicked with the concentrated citrus flavor of preserved lemon. Start by making a batch of his basic hummus. If you like it (which you will), add the chickpea stew.
