About Sambusak with hummus

Sambusak with hummus is a flavorful dish rooted in Middle Eastern cuisine, blending a warm, flaky pastry with the creamy richness of chickpea hummus. The sambusak, a crescent-shaped pastry, is traditionally stuffed with fillings like spiced ground meat, lentils, or cheese, and baked or fried to golden perfection. Paired with hummus—made from blended chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice—the dish offers a balance of textures and flavors. Nutritionally, hummus is rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and healthy fats, supporting heart health and sustained energy. The sambusak's nutritional profile depends on its preparation; baked varieties are lower in fat than fried ones, and fillings can range from nutrient-dense (like lentils) to indulgent (like cheese). While this dish offers wholesome elements, moderation is key, as processed flours and frying can increase calorie content. Sambusak with hummus is a delightful combination of tradition and taste.
