| Hummus from Around My French Table Hummus may not seem very French but Dorie says its become popular and on the menu at many restaurants and in many homes. If I were composing a book of recipes from 'around my American table' there would be things like ravioli and tacos and posole and other things not necessarily thought of as typical American food. A friend came over and we shared a bottle of Grgich Hills Cabernet with our hummus. Its a wine that is out of my typical budget but we split the cost making it fun and affordable for us both. Grgich Hills was our favorite winery on our Napa tour. Be sure to check out everyone's results with this easy and delicious recipe at French Fridays with Dorie! |

Hummus looks great. What a nice pairing -hummus and wine:)
ReplyDeleteLebanon was a French mandate for many years…I can see how some middle eastern food could have become popular in France. Your hummus looks delicious!! Have a great weekend, Guyla!
ReplyDeleteWine and snacks. What a nice way to spend time with a friend. I remember touring Grgich Hills on a trip to Napa (too long ago). Have a great weekend, Guyla!
ReplyDeleteI think that is indeed Dorie's point. Some foods seem to be adopted by other countries to the point that it is difficult to remember where it even came from after a time. And I'm sure that the french would have approved of your serving this with a nice bottle of wine :-)
ReplyDeleteCan´t go wrong with hummus and a glass of good red wine! Have a nice weekend Guyla!
ReplyDeleteGreat wine choice Guyla! And great looking hummus! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove your photo, looks like it's straight out of a magazine!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time with your friend!
so jealous of your wine! :) not so much the hummus, but sounds like a lovely snack for you both!
ReplyDeleteLove Grgich -- I always think of them as my white provider (the fume blanc is citrusy, minerally and just fab!), but I'll have to try a cab. Bon weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture of your hummus with a wonderful botttle of wine in the background - nice to read that you enjoyed this easy and fun recipe and got to share it with your friend!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
Sorry, forgot to let you know that the link to your Fig Walnut Cake has been on my facebook page for a few days now. Thanks again for trying the recipe and blooging about it! Have a good Sunday!
DeleteLovely picture.
ReplyDeleteA glass of wine and a tasty dip sounds like a recipe for success :-)
Why didn't I think of wine....let alone a gorgeous bottle. Good job for such a fun pairing ! And I just found out about the fig walnut cake. I think I know what I will be doing tomorrow......
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo! I like that you enjoyed your hummus with some great wine, too.
