HUNGRY MAN KITCHEN: “Easy Homemade Tahini and My Favourite Hummus Recipe”

July 28, 2021 | Did you know that it takes only two simple ingredients to make your own homemade tahini? Also imagine a homemade hummus made with your own tahini with no additives and as fresh as it can get!

Tahini or tahina is a Middle Eastern condiment made from sesame. It can be served by itself as a dip or as a major ingredient in various dishes and mezze such as hummus, baba ghanoush and halva. It's also perfect to combine with grape molasses which is a staple in a traditional Turkish breakfast.

Hummus, also a very popular dip or mezze throughout the world, is widely available in supermarkets. However, homemade hummus without any additives is always my favourite. I never buy hummus anymore since it's so easy to make; it takes only minutes. Even better and even more satisfying is if you make it with a homemade tahini!

Let's see how you can make tahini and hummus at home, the best you have ever had!

Hungry Man Kitchen: Mfarakeh A Middle Eastern, Spiced Potato Dish – Protein-rich, Irresistible, Satisfying, and Moreish

Jun 27, 2025 | Mfarakeh (also spelled Mufaraqah, Mufarakeh, Mfarrakeh) is a traditional Middle Eastern comfort food made from eggs scrambled with vegetables or meat, often flavored with warm spices like cumin, black pepper, and Aleppo pepper.

The name "Mfarakeh" comes from the Arabic word "farak" (فَرَك), meaning "to crumble" or "separate" — referring to the way eggs are stirred into the pan to form soft, distinct curds. It’s popular in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and parts of Iraq and Egypt, with many families preparing their own twist depending on what’s available.

This version is a one-pan dish made with spiced ground beef, potatoes, and eggs — simple, high in protein, and incredibly satisfying.
