Description:
Hummus is a delightful Middle Eastern breakfast option, typically rich in flavor and texture. While traditional recipes often require lengthy preparation with dried chickpeas, this version utilizes canned hummus to create a quick and tasty dish, perfect for those busy mornings. Serve it with garlic cucumbers, olives, and warm pita bread for an authentic experience!
Ingredients:
- 1 can of prepared hummus
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon light olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3-4 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 – 1 teaspoon hot chili sauce
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
Instructions:
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the canned hummus with minced garlic, olive oil, tahini paste, lemon juice, and ground cumin. Adjust the quantities of olive oil, tahini paste, and lemon juice to achieve the desired consistency, ensuring the hummus remains thick and creamy.
-
Once blended to perfection, transfer the hummus mixture onto a large round serving plate. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the hummus in a circular motion, creating a decorative swirl along the edges of the plate.
-
Sprinkle a dash of hot chili sauce over the hummus and delicately arrange sun-dried tomatoes on top for a burst of flavor and color.
-
Serve the hummus alongside warm pita bread, lightly toasted to enhance its flavor, and a side of pickled garlic cucumbers and olives, reminiscent of Israeli and Arabic cuisine.
-
For a single hummus plate variation, prepare a small round plate with a serving of hummus, adding extra tahini paste if desired for a richer taste.
-
Create a decorative swirl around the edges of the plate and form a well in the center using the back of a spoon.
-
Sprinkle hot chili sauce over the hummus and garnish with chopped onions, greens, or fresh tomatoes, as preferred. Add a final touch of parsley for an appealing presentation.
-
Accompany the single hummus plate with warm pita bread, pickled garlic cucumbers, and olives for a satisfying and flavorful dish.
