Abstract: A dumpling, particularly ravioli, containing an edible hummus-based food substance and a method of making the same are herein described. More specifically, dough for a ravioli, or similar dumpling, is prepared and cut into individual units for each of a set of ravioli. Each ravioli can have a top and a bottom piece of cut dough or sufficient dough to be folded over upon itself. For each ravioli, a hummus-based food substance, such as hummus or a food substance containing hummus, is placed on a cut piece of ravioli dough. A fully enclosed pocket of dough containing the hummus-based food substance is formed by affixing a top piece of dough over the hummus and a bottom piece of dough or by folding the dough over and affixing it to itself. This forms a sealed pocket of hummus in each ravioli. The ravioli can then be cooked and served.
