    That’s our dinner tonight, thank you! 🙂 My mother-in-law makes a similar dish — hummus, spiced lamb or beef, and toasted almonds or pine nuts for the topping. I think feta cheese will add an interesting flavor.

    I never would have thought of this recipe but I am glad someone did. How simple and not terribly unhealthy.
