The oldest written #hummus recipe in the world is 776 years old...
It was written in Aleppo, Syria in 1250 CE by a historian named Ibn al-'Adeem. Not a chef. A historian. Who also happened to document one of the most extraordinary cookbooks of the medieval period.
The base of the recipe is identical to what you make today. Chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic, salt. That part has not changed in 776 years.

@globalmuseum Fascinating. And it is probably not stretch to say that the recipe hasn't changed for much longer.

@globalmuseum I don't even like Hummus but this is still interesting. Maybe I need better Hummus.

What has changed is the garnish. After the hummus is spread flat on a wide plate, the 1250 CE manuscript says to drizzle it with sweet olive oil, scatter chopped parsley and pistachios across the top, dust it with Ceylon cinnamon, and finish with crushed rose buds.
The manuscript also notes that the dish will look quite nice if you arrange whole chickpeas on top. A medieval Syrian historian giving you plating advice.
@globalmuseum I happen to have Ceylon cinnamon on hand. I will get some pistachios and try following this excellent plating advice next time I have hummus!
