Humus is also served as part of a meze meal or as an accompaniment to falafel, grilled chicken or fish.

It can also be served with tortilla chips or crackers or pitta bread. Basil & Tomato Pesto's are commonly used on pasta. It is very important never to cook pesto because basil when heated gets bitter, simply stir it into warm or cold drained pasta. Pesto is also often served on sliced beef, tomatoes and sliced boiled potatoes or spread onto bread. Please note: pesto's contain pinenuts Black Olive Tapenade.
