Musabbaḥa (Arabic: مسبحة), also known as msabbaḥa, mashausha (Arabic: مشوشة), is a runnier variation of hummus made up of whole garbanzo beans and tahini. It is popular in the Levant. It is often known as masabacha in Israel.

Ingredients

The main difference between msabbaḥa and hummus is the texture. In contrast with hummus, the chickpeas here remain whole. It sometimes contains hard-boiled egg, and like hummus, it is typically eaten with pita bread.

A variation of msabbaḥa common in Damascus serves chickpeas and tahini with melted butter, pomegranate or lemon juice, and pistachios or pine nuts. In Lebanon, it is known as masabaḥa or mashawsha, and may be served with a hot sauce condiment with side dishes. It is also sold prepackaged.
