Hummus @ Lebanon's Cafe
Hummus is a spreadable, dippable puree of chickpeas, sesame seeds, olive oil, lemon, and a few seasonings. It is the universal appetizer and/or side dish in every Lebanese restaurant throughout the world. I have only occasionally encountered a hummus I didn't like. But this one stands out for its texture and its ample use of lemon juice--the ingredient that pulls the slightly bitter flavors of the beans and tahine (sesame seeds ground into a pasta). It's exceptionally good with roasted chunks of lamb leg.
