-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 garlic cloves -- roughly chopped

2 mild red chilies -- seeded and roughly chopped

1 large bunch cilantro -- roughly chopped

2 cans chick peas -- drained

1 lime -- juice only

4 tbsp olive oil

salt and ground black pepper

For the crispy garlic pita:

3 tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves -- crushed

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

4 white pita breads

 

Place the garlic, chilies, and cilantro in a food processor and whizz

until finely chopped.

 

Add the chick peas and whizz until well blended.

 

With the motor running, squeeze in the lime juice and drizzle in the

olive oil to make a fairly coarse paste. Season well to taste and

spoon into a serving bowl.

 

Meanwhile, mix together the olive oil, garlic, and parsley and season.

 

Heat one side of the pita breads, under a hot broiler about 1 minute

until well browned.

 

Turn over the bread, then use a knife to slash the softer surface 4-5

times without cutting through the bread. Brush with the herb and oil

mixture and return to the broiler until bubbling and toasted about 1

minute.

 

When cool, break into pieces and serve with the yummy hummus.
