is this hummous realy baked? Im so impressed by the idea!cheers
Hi,
The hummus stays in the oven for only 2 minutes to grill the pastirma. This short period of time doesn't effect hummus:)
this is one of my most favorite dishes we only get it with the set menu at Hasan Kolcuoğlu Adana Kebap Restaurant. i will try this recipe soon and see how it stacks up to the pros! :)
i found it easier to cook and squeeze the chickpeas, like the turkish women here described.....(i live in Istanbul)
