Why You'll Love Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus with Handmade Pita

Smooth, creamy hummus meets blistered handmade pita bread, both infused with bold, tangy sun-dried tomatoes from Roland Foods. This is mezze with a kick.

Tips and Tricks

• Garlic Mellowing: Letting the grated garlic sit in lemon juice softens its sharpness and infuses the hummus with a balanced garlic-citrus note.
• Adjust the Texture: Add more ice water for a silkier finish or less for a thicker, heartier texture.
• Blister the Pita: Keep the skillet hot and don't crowd the pan-this ensures puffed, golden spots on each pita.

Variations

• Herbaceous Twist: Fold in fresh basil or mint for a bright, aromatic finish.
• Spicy Kick: Add 1 teaspoon harissa to the hummus for a spicy edge.
• Nutty Depth: Swap tahini for almond butter for a nuttier, richer profile.

Substitutions

• Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Replace with roasted red peppers for a milder, sweeter hummus.
• Greek Yogurt: Substitute with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option.
• All-Purpose Flour: Use whole wheat flour for a heartier, more rustic pita.

Best served with

• Marinated olives or roasted red peppers
• Grilled lamb or za'atar chicken
• A chilled Lambrusco or mint tea

How to Store Leftovers

Store hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Pita can be frozen and reheated in a dry skillet.
