Remember I mentioned in previous posts that I often get
bored of my recipes? Remember I mentioned that I often crave recipes that are
different and exciting?
Meet this recipe! It says different and exciting all over it

I first encountered this appetizer at my friend, Aidel’s
house over Rosh Hashana (holiday celebrating the beginning of the Jewish calendar). It’s just like Aidel to have funky and inspiring food on her table. She is a
food guru, after all! When I asked her for the recipe, she told me that she had eaten
it in a restaurant and merely replicated the dish. I wasn't about to start
jotting down a recipe that she had created from her own taste buds.
A couple months down the line, we received an invitation
from a lovely family in Ramat Beit Shemesh, the Rapps, to come join them for Shabbos
lunch. When we sat down to our meal, she also placed down the beautiful and
exotic meat and hummus dish. When I saw Sara Rapp
during the week, I asked her if she by any chance had the recipe to the meat
and hummus appetizer. I was waiting for her to say something like, “Uh I do,
but I’m not allowed to share it with you.” I was glad when she carelessly
replied, “Sure. I’ll send a picture text.”
Now we have it, the Meat and Hummus recipe. It’s super easy,
super non-traditional, and super delicious!
I would advise you to not serve this recipe to picky guests.
I once served it to a table full of seminary girls and they just started the
dish down! Seriously. However, we have also served it to couples who loved it
as much as we do.
