Ingredients

1 soft lavash bread
Olive oil
2 small Japanese eggplants, halved
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Spicy Hummus, recipe follows
12 ounces crumbled feta cheese
Red Chile Oil, recipe follows
Chopped fresh mint, for garnish

Directions

Preheat the grill to high. Brush the lavash with oil on both sides. Grill until golden brown on both sides. Brush the eggplant with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the eggplant, cut-side down, until golden brown. Turn the eggplant over and grill until just cooked through. Remove from grill and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Spread the hummus over the bread, top with the eggplant, and then the feta. Grill, with the cover down for 2 to 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Remove from the grill, drizzle with the red chile oil and sprinkle with mint.

Spicy Hummus:

1 1/2 cups dried chickpeas, cooked until soft

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 lemon, juiced

1/2 cup to 3/4 cup olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper

3 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves

Put the chickpeas, garlic, and tahini in the work bowl a food processor. Pulse until it becomes paste-like, adding a few tablespoons of water, if needed. Add the cayenne, cumin, and lemon juice, and pulse again until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until emulsified. Add the parsley and pulse until just combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a small bowl.

Red Chile Oil:

2 ancho chiles, stemmed and chopped

1 New Mexican red chili, stemmed and chopped

Vegetarian Pizza
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a wonderful alternate pizza for a neighbor that is a vegetarian. I cut off time by using store bought hummus and... red chili oil. The eggplant was so good it tasted like steak. The pizza is awesome!Read more

DEEEEELISH!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Everyone for whom I have made this recipe has loved it!! I use my own hummus recipe, but Bobby's is also very tasty. ... Careful grillin' the lavash, keep flipping it until it's nice and toasted. This makes for a crunchy thin crust pizza!! The grilled eggplant and feta is just yum!!This could be a great appetizer when cut into small pieces or I have eaten it for dinner as well.Read more

Used purchased dough, rolled it thin. The flavors combine really nicely - we make it all the time.

Best Hummus Yet
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I've made the Hummus twice and each time it has been outstanding. I increased the cayenne a little and the kick is great. ... The lavash is fun and readily available.Read more

Hummus is A++
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I can't speak for the whole recipe because I have not made the pizza, but I can tell you that the hummus recipe rocks! What... makes it different than other recipes is the spicy kick. Although you have to be careful not to make it to too spicy. I also do not put the parsely in with the hummus, I think the taste is too strong. I generally just put it on top.Read more
