We are not vegetarian, but I have made this several times and we loved it. There is a similar recipe in the Dec 1997 issue of Food & Wine for a vegetable tagine.
Optional applications: Use leftover hummus as bread spread in a sandwich or with tabboulleh and grilled or roasted vegetables for a complete vegetarian meal.
My friend, Carrie Glick Miller, lived in Lebanon for a couple of years and participated in cooking classes while there. This is an authentic recipe she brought back with her. The first time I tasted it, I begged for the recipe.
