Though I am sure you won't think about Hummus first for a bean dish, this a great opportunity to introduce a staple. All my friends keep craving mine. For us it a taste of home and for you I hope an opportunity to taste the real deal if you make it. You won't regret looking for the right ingredients. And there are three keys to this easy recipe- the raw Tahini, good beans and cooking the beans with aromatics. You have to have great Tahini, one from the middle east, I use Al Wadi. Buy the beans from a good place that keep them fresh, preferably smaller ones. It does not last more than 2-3 days, but in any case it best served warm right after cooking and anyway there won't be any leftovers. I wish I just could find really good fluffy and thick pitas around here.
