This is one of those recipes that has been in my repertoire for years… but somehow never made it to this blog!It’s about time, because the whole family loves this Middle Eastern sweet and spicy dip- and it is SO simple (as long as you have a food processor!), it makes a great meal prep recipe for a nutrient-dense after school snack (or a lunchbox dip if your school allows nuts!)- with veggies or some homemade sourdough crackers (still working on this recipe!).
