Hummos Wa Burghul
Do you see that black stone dish on the table, the one that has a dish in it called Hummos wa Burghul (Chickpeas and Cracked Wheat?)
I am trying to find a recipe to make it. Please, if you are Syrian or Jordanian, and you know how to make this, or maybe you have a mom or an aunt who knows how to make this, would you please share your recipe with me?
I found one recipe, for a Burghul Pilaf, from a 1959 Lebanese cookbook. It calls for 1 1/4 lbs of butter. (!!! AACK !!!) I remember it really did taste buttery, it was really yummy, but that sure seems like a lot of butter!
It was delicious. I’d really like to try to make it, if someone out there can help me out.


Oh God!! I will ask for you but that sure sounds fattening! WOHO
why must i read ur blog before i take emaciaty to the vet? now this dish is going to be on mind while her diseased pets are treated. u really are a recipe monger arent u? i wish i could cook
Chicki - Remember when you asked if we could have anything of yours that we wanted and I said I want your Mom?
I have to tell you, this dish was amazing, simple ingredients, brilliantly married.
Mrm - Sweetie, you CAN cook. Look, buy six apples, a package of brown sugar, use some of your Mom’s cinnamon and butter. Try making those Baked Apples. This time, you can also buy some spray whip cream; I won’t make you whip it yourself. Just give it a try. You’ll find out - you really CAN cook! All my recipes are EASY!
I can’t find anything like that online - I wish I could help.
I’m definitely ready to help w the eating, though
I wanted to make it for YOU, Little Diamond, I knew you would love it!
ill get back to u on that when im in london struggling to throw something together for futoor :p then and only then will we both discover if i can cook or not hehe
I am so happy for you, Mrm. Mabrook!
