Hummus with Flageolet Bean & Pitta Bread Crisps
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°C/Gas Mark 4.
Cook the flageolet beans in boiling, salted water for 15 mins until just soft, drain and refresh under cold water.
Blend the beans in a food processor with the lemon juice, tahini paste, garlic and olive oil and season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
Split the pitta breads in half lengthways and cut each piece into four. Place on a baking tray and brush with the olive oil.
Sprinkle with the mixed herbs and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown, taking care that they do not burn.
Serve with Hummus
Tip:This hummus is lovely as an accompaniment to grilled pork chops or pan-fried chicken breast.
Children will love this with crisp vegetable sticks and the pitta bread crisps, ideal for a quick snack after school.
