This dish is a mainstay in the Middle East. Usually eaten for breakfast. I prefer it for a healthy vegetarian dinner.
Start with a cup of plain yogurt in a bowl. To the yogurt add 1 tablespoon tahini and one minced garlic clove. Stir. Add half a can drained chic peas. Top with chopped tomatoes and parsley. Add a nice drizzle of olive oil and at least two tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice. Finish by sprinkling it with paprika. I like a lot.
It tastes best when heated in the microwave for a minute. Gently stir all the goodness together.
Why this fits in with my diet: I can eat any fruit or vegetable except corn. There is no gluten in this recipe. Also no corn or corn derivatives. Everything is fresh.
I do try to avoid milk products for the most part but I can tolerate yogurt. Though it will occasionally cause gas.
If you like babagunash and tabouli you will appreciate this recipe.
