2. 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. 3.
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.
4. When cool, break into pieces and serve with the
yummy hummus. |
