Nice to stumble across other hummus-lovers on this fine day. One of my fond childhood memories is from when my father would make hummus from scratch for Sunday breakfast. He used to pimp it up with variable spices, topped with chopped tomatoes, peppers, avocado, and in a glorious moment of Palestinian-Norwegian fusion; minced moose meat and chanterelles. Best Breakfast Ever. Btw, I notice you seem worried about the fat from olive oil. It is normally though that olive oil has great health benefits, and that it is one of the most healthy cooking oils of all. Especially when eaten cold. There is a large body of clinical data to show that consumption of olive oil can provide heart health benefits such as favourable effects on cholesterol regulation and LDL cholesterol oxidation, and that it exerts antiinflamatory, antithrombotic, antihypertensive as well as vasodilatory effects in humans. It thus reduces the risk of coronary heart disease. It would be far better for most people to exchange more fat in their diet from animal fat to olive oil. Drizzle it on everything, and you shall live long in the land :)
