Classic Mediterranean Hummus
A classic hummus served up with traditional bruschetta!!
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz. can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp. cumin
- 1 Tbsp. tahini
Bruschetta Topping
- 1 cup chopped Roma tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp. fresh basil
- 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- For serving:
- 4-5 pieces of pita bread
- non-stick cooking spray
- 2 Tbsp. plain yogurt
- 1 thinly sliced jalapeno pepper
- Sriracha sauce
- 1 Tbsp. sliced green onion
Instructions
- To make the hummus: Use a food processor to combine the beans, yogurt, garlic, salt, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, and tahini. Pulse until smooth and creamy.
- To make the bruschetta topping: Combining the chopped tomatoes, basil, salt, garlic, and olive oil. Stir until just blended. (This will taste best if you make it an hour or two ahead of time.)
- For Serving: To toast the pita bread, heat a griddle to medium-high heat. Spray the bread with a little nonstick spray and lay it on the hot griddle. You want to toast the pita just until brown marks appear. If you don't have a griddle, you can heat the bread in a hot skillet until it begins to brown. Cut the warm bread into triangles.
- To assemble, scoop the hummus into a bowl and top with several spoonsful of the tomato mixture. The extra bruschetta mix can be served alongside, or refrigerated and used later. Add the 2Tbsp. yogurt in a nice dollop. Garnish with thinly sliced jalapeno-many slices if you like lots of heat, 2 or 3 slices if you like heat. Shake on Sriracha sauce to taste, and top with the green onions. Serve along with the pita triangles for dipping.
