Lebanese Chickpea Stew with Sweet Spices (Yakhnet Hummus)
This Lebanese chickpea stew, called Yakhnet Hummus, is a comforting dish that smells of sweet spices and the Levantine sun. You'll love its creamy texture and hints of cinnamon and cumin. It's a great example of Lebanese cuisine, rich in vegetarian stews. If you're wondering what typical Lebanese dishes are, this kind of stew pairs perfectly with a varied mezze.
