Red Pepper Hummus with Toasted Pita Triangles
2006, Robin Miller, All rights reserved

Ingredients
4 whole-wheat pita pockets, cut into triangles
Cooking spray
Garlic salt
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1 cup sauteed red peppers
1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 to 4 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Place pita triangles on a large baking sheet and spray the surface with cooking
spray. Season the tops with garlic salt. Bake 6 to 8 minutes, until golden brown
and crisp.

Meanwhile, rinse and drain 1 can of the chickpeas. Place drained chickpeas in a
blender and add red peppers, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and cumin. Process
until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Transfer to a
serving bowl and top with parsley.

Serve hummus with toasted pita triangles arranged alongside.
