Mezze Plate Ingredients
Method
Mezze Plate Directions
Prepare the Hummus
In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and cumin. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
Pickle the Vegetables
In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, water, and sugar. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Place chopped seasonal vegetables into a jar and pour the hot pickling liquid over them. Let cool and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Warm the Pita
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Wrap pita bread in foil and warm in the oven for about 10 minutes until soft and pliable.
