I love Middle Eastern mezze a selection of small dishes served as a starter. Mezze has a strong tradition in Turkey and other Middle Eastern countries such as Lebanon or Saudi Arabia.

AUTHENTIC Hummus recipe (Arabic style) 🧆
Mezze almost always consists of hummus (chickpea-sesame paste) and baba ghanoush (eggplant-sesame dip) and is served with warm pita bread.
Other dishes are also added such as sambousek (filled pastries with minced meat and nuts) tabouleh (couscous and parsley salad) and more. But when mezze is served hummus and baba ghanoush are always present.
The rich creamy sesame paste called tahini is actually the “key ingredient” in both spreads and its strong nutty almost smoky flavor is what makes this spread so flavorful and unique.
