You can find several on the American Diabetes Association web site. I've lekood at a couple and there are some recipes that look pretty good. The recipes include carb counts, food exchanges, calorie counts, and a whole lot more. You can also find them at Borders or Barnes and Noble look in the health care section.

Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus...

I like to put a few tablespoons of chopped cilantro and two tablespoons of minced jalapeno. It's a fantastic dip or a great addition to any burger (veggie or otherwise)

Carrot!

I'm eating carrot hummus right now---just add a can of carrots to the basic hummus recipe, and use ginger instead of cumin. Delicious!

No matter what the hummus tastes like, I always enjoy it with Kangaroo Pita Chips or Kangaroo Pita Bread. Check out their website for more info on the chips and bread, www.kangaroobrands.com

Hummus

I first tried Hummus about 15 years ago in Chicago. One of my friends brought me to a Middle East social club/cafe after running into her on the bus ride home. I had it in a to go container and had a nice suprised when I got home. There was a big mound of Hummus with a well hollowed out in the middle of the mound and filled with olive oil. Surrounding the Hummus Mound were cucumber wedges, middle eastern (reddish pink)turnip slices, different kinds of olives such as Kalamata. Wrapped in oil were some warm Pitas halved. Since then I have learned how to make it and there is a store not too far that sells ingredients from different countries including 25 different kinds of olives and 40 different brands of imported olive oil.

guy from Thrace

I grew up in a community that knew nothging about the middle east. My Byzantine history, not in the history books, and when I took pita with filling as a sack lunch to school, people looked at me oddly. I love your column and read it daily, someday mention ikra, an eggpland dish? Christmas at our house always had the evening meal, Christmas eve, of 7 fishes, I think the Sicilians do the same thing. Garlic hummus is out of this world.

original is good, but
