Hummus

Pita Chips

Method

Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, tahini, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and water.

  2. 2

    Blend Until Smooth

    Blend the mixture on high speed until it turns creamy and smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until reaching desired consistency.

  3. 3

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your taste.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and sprinkle paprika on top for garnish. Drizzle with a little olive oil if desired.

Pita Chips Preparation

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 6

    Cut Pita Bread

    Cut each pita bread into triangles or strips, depending on your preference.

  3. 7

    Coat with Olive Oil and Season

    In a large bowl, toss the pita pieces with olive oil, salt, and dried oregano until evenly coated.

  4. 8

    Bake

    Arrange the seasoned pita pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until they are crisp and golden brown.

  5. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the pita chips from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving with the hummus.
