Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons fresh herbs (chives, parsley, rosemary, thyme, cilantro, etc.)
4 pitas (I like to use whole wheat for a nuttier flavor), cut into eighths
Salt, for sprinkling
Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and juice reserved
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup tahini
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • For the pita crisps: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a food processor, combine the butter and herbs and pulse until well combined. Spread the herb butter onto the pita slices. Sprinkle with salt and bake until crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, for the hummus: In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, tahini and cumin. Pulse until smooth. With the food processor running, add the olive oil in a steady stream. Season with the salt and puree until very smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add 2 tablespoons at a time of the reserved chickpea juice until desired consistency.

The hummus was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices to give it some flavor.

The hummus was good, but the pita crisps were a bit too oily for my taste.
