Greece is a land of vibrant cuisine. It is food that is neither spicy nor bland, but rich in the flavors of the Mediterranean. It is comfort food in the truest sense of the word.

My new favorite restaurant for take out!
I have friends from Pakistan, and whenever they visit me they cook a huge, delectable feast. And this restaurant's food tastes just like it.

Hummus is naturally without dairy, but it's such a great alternative appetizer to the usual appetizer fare of cheese and ranch dips. The next time it's your turn to bring the appetizer to a get together, bring the hummus!
1 15-16oz can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained
1/4 C Tahini (sesame seed paste)
3 Tbs water
2 Tbs lemon juice
1 Tbs olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbs chopped parsley
In a food processor combine garbanzo beans, tahini, water, lemon juice, oil, garlic, salt, cumin and cayenne pepper.

This is the basic recipe, you can change it by adding roasted peppers or sun dried tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS:
4 garlic cloves, mashed
2 15-oz cans of garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
2/3 cup of tahini (roasted, not raw)
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil
salt to taste
- If you want to cook your chickpeas, soak them overnight and then cook in water with a dash of oil to soften them, for about 2 hours, don't add salt until they are cooked because that will make them tough.
Put all ingredients minus salt in food processor.

Another one from Gluten Free:
Focaccia with Chestnut Flour
In Italy this recipe is traditionally made with chestnut flour. In fact, chestnut flour is used extensively in Italian baking as it imparts a nutty and slightly sweet flavor that adds richness to pastries and breads. Focaccia is often made with fennel seed or rosemary and chopped or whole pine nuts.
