directions

  • Place the garlic, chillies and cilantro in a food processor and whizz until finely chopped.
  • Add the garbanzos and whizz until well blended.
  • With the motor running, squeeze in the lime juice and drizzle in the olive oil to make a fairly coarse paste.
  • Season well to taste and spoon into a serving bowl.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the olive oil, garlic and parsley and season.
  • Heat one side of the pita breads under a hot broiler for about 1 minute until well browned.
  • Turn over the bread, then use a knife to slash the softer surface 4-5 times without cutting through the bread.
  • Brush with the herb and oil mixture and return to the broiler until bubbling and toasted (about 1 minute).
  • When cool, break into pieces and serve with the hummus.

  1. This is a really nice, "green" alternative to traditional hummus. The cilantro and lime give it a distinct, almost southwest flavor. The garlic pitas are to die for, and really enhance the dish. I'll for sure use them when I make regular hummus, and I could see sprinkling them with a little sea salt and munching them as a snack as well. I used wheat pitas (my nod to healthy eating) and they turned out great.
