Dips and scoop-able salads are really big at our house. It seems to me that in Middle Eastern/North African cuisine dips are just an excuse to eat more fantastic bread. I’m ok with that. I came up with this dip during Ramadan as a side dish for iftar. It came together out of a bunch of leftovers and a can of great northern beans. When I shop I always try to get a few pantry items that I have no immediate plans for. Then when I’m feeling an itch to make something new I have a bunch of different options. It probably adds $5 to my weekly grocery bills but when I’m in a pinch or just needing to feel creative it’s right there.
I’m curious to know – do you only cook from recipes or do you like to be adventurous too? What’s the best thing you ever made up?
