Well, besides putting it on chips, the main thing I do with hummous is make wraps -- take flatbread, smear hummous on it, throw on chopped lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, olives, onions, hot peppers, red peppers, etc. (I don't recommend all that, just your favourites. I usually do the first four). Wrap it up and there you go! Another vegan Mediterranean dish is falafel, but that isn't the kind of thing that can easily be made (it requires deep frying). But a falafel sandwich with chips and hummus is mm mm good! Baba Ganouj is also vegan, but it's also generally used for dipping.
The easiest vegan meal to make is spaghetti with tomato and mushroom sauce.
Or, if you want to put a bit more work, do a stir fry. Chop up a bunch of vegetables, whatever you have basically, an cook them in olive oil. I normally don't use any kind of seasonins, I just serve it as is with soy sauce on the side.
If you want to get reaaally fancy, here's an awesome recipe for Pad Thai (http://www.skullsecurity.org/wiki/index.php/Pad_Thai). It also has the added bonus of being clutton free, which is ood with my family (my stepmom is allergic to glutton).
So yeah, those are some options! Let me know how it goes. :)

I'm on vacation this week, so I'm using my laptop's actual keyboard. The 'g' and 'b' keys are broken, and often don't work. I try and pay attention, but obviously I don't always. :P
"glutton free, which is good"
That excuse doesn't explain where the C came from! :)
*shrug* :P

I DEMAND TO SEE YOUR LAWYER!
Also, you spelled recipe wrong in the title.
reci pies are good.
I love gyros. Most delicious thing ever made by mankind.
Give her a hummus meal with extra garlic. Then you kiss her, say her breath smells like shit and the slam the door in her face.
or kill the bitch, cut her up, and never tell anyone except your grandkids when you're about to die
I ended up going the Thai route, and it was extraordinarily good. All kinds of vegatables cooked perfectly. She was impressed :D

Would have been a terrible idea, because vegans tend to be sick as hell of salads, being the only thing they can eat at a lot of restaurants (french fries too).

Heh, that's probably good to know. :P
Thai is pretty good, although it's not something I could stand to eat very often. There was this Thai restaurant in the town I worked at over the summer that measured the spiciness of their dishes in "stars", which we hypothesized was the number of pinches of spice the cook put in your food. You could get up to 5 stars according to the menu, but if you read the fine print, you could get more for $0.25/star after five stars. Some guy ordered a 25 star dish. I thought he was going to start crying, lol.
I did not know spaghetti and tomato sauce was a "vegan meal" because it's one of my favorite meals! :o

As long as there's no meat in the sauce, it definitely is!
A lot of people seem to think that pasta has egg in it, which it doesn't.
Noodles contain egg, at least by the FDA's definition, but pasta doesn't.

I thought noodles could be made from semolina?
Also, I'm pretty sure the no eggs in pasta rule is only applicable in the US, and only for packaged products. They definitely use eggs to make certain kinds of pasta in Italy, and they definitely use eggs to make the pasta at my favorite Italian restaurant!

I've read that noodles = egg, according to the FDA.

You could be right, I'm going by the FDA's definition. If you're buying pasta off the shelf, it most likely won't have egg.
Then what are egg noodles? Noodles with EXTRA egg? Madness.
Another name for noodles. Duh. :P

No, relying on the food companies to follow the FDA's guidelines.
In any case, it's not like I don't check ingredients.
