Cilantro Hummus With Crispy Garlic Pita

A twist on plain hummus served with garlic pita.

Place the garlic , chillies and cilantro in a food processor and whizz until finely chopped.

Add the garbanzos 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 for 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.

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