Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup hummus
  • 1 cup chickpeas (cooked)
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 2 pita breads
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅔ cup yogurt (unsweetened non-dairy, plain, or Greek-style)
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 twists black pepper
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts (toasted)
  • 4 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
  • 1 handful mint leaves (chopped)
  • 1 handful flat-leaf parsley (chopped)
  • 1 pinch sumac (or paprika)

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse 1 cup of chickpeas. In a small pot, boil them with water and ½ teaspoon of cumin for about 15 minutes. Once tender, drain them and set aside.
  2. Cut 2 pita breads into triangles. Place them on a baking tray and toss with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and ½ teaspoon of salt. Arrange in a single layer and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine ⅔ cup of yogurt, 3 tablespoons of tahini, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, grated garlic clove, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon salt, black pepper twists, and water. Stir until well mixed. Add more water if needed until you achieve a pourable consistency. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  4. Spread the hummus evenly on a large serving platter. Drizzle with additional extra virgin olive oil. Top with crispy pita chips followed by drained chickpeas boiled with cumin.
  5. Pour a generous amount of yogurt sauce over everything. Finish by garnishing with toasted pine nuts, pomegranate seeds, chopped mint leaves, parsley, sumac or paprika pinch, along with one last drizzle of olive oil.
