Hummus with Whole Wheat Pita Bread
I described how to cook garbanzo beans, also called chick peas in the recipe Quinoa Garbanzo Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette. In Kansas City, Jerusalem Bakery sells fresh whole wheat pita bread. Call early. They sell out quickly.
2/3 cup garbanzo beans (also called chick peas) soaked overnight and cooked.
3 TBSP sesame tahini
2 – 4 cloves garlic
½ teaspoon sea salt
2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
2 TBSP lemon juice
2/3 cup cooking water
Whole Wheat Pita Bread
Paprika
Kalamata or oil-cured olives
Place the first six ingredients in a food processor or blender. Process until well mixed. Add cooking water to achieve a creamy consistency. Drizzle each serving with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with paprika and top with an olive. Cut the pita bread into triangles. Enjoy by scooping the hummus up with the pita triangles. Or, place some hummus inside the the pita pocket and fill the of the pocket with roasted vegetables. Delicious! Serves 4.
