context_section_description: Hummus masabacha is a common variant of Israeli-style hummus, which consists of Israeli-style hummus that has been topped in its center with masabacha, or cooked chickpeas served warm and tossed in a sauce containing tahini, garlic and lemon juice. This is a very popular variant of hummus commonly served in Israel Jewish Israeli restaurants tend to serve Hummus Masabacha hot, and is traditionally eaten by the “bowlful” similar to a stew, and is traditionally served with haminados, a slow cooked egg of Sephardi Jewish origin, somewhat similar to a hard boiled egg, that has a unique creamy texture and brown exterior due to its being cooked for many hours, often overnight, as part of the traditional Sephardic Shabbat stew, hamin, from which it derives its name, and some pita for dipping. At a hummusiya in Haifa, this is also served topped with whole chickpeas or cooked mushrooms, as well as some Galilean olive oil, with an array of housemade hot sauces on the dining table such as zhoug, harissa, and a unique lemon juice concoction that has been infused with crushed garlic cloves.
