Hummus Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Blend the Hummus

    In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, tahini, fresh basil leaves, feta cheese, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a little water if necessary to reach your desired consistency.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pita Wedges

    While the hummus is blending, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the pita bread into wedges and arrange them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, then bake for about 10 minutes or until golden and crispy.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Once the hummus is ready, transfer it to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra olive oil. Serve with the toasted pita wedges on the side.
