Ingredients
1 cup (250 mL) unsalted cooked or drained rinsed canned chickpeas
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) baby spinach leaves, divided
1 small clove garlic
2 tbsp (25 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp (15 mL) tahini or other nut or seed butter
Pepper
1 roasted sweet red pepper (about 3/4 cup/175 mL strips)
4 6- to 8-inch (15 to 20 cm) whole wheat pita breads
4 oz (120 g) lower fat feta cheese, crumbled or 3 1/2 oz (100 g) regular feta cheese, crumbled
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a food processor, combine chickpeas, 1 cup (250 mL) of the spinach, garlic, lemon juice and tahini. Process until fairly smooth, adding 1 to 2 tsp (5 to 10 mL) water, if necessary, to make a spreadable hummus. Season to taste with pepper.
Pat roasted red pepper strips dry. Arrange pita breads on a large baking sheet or 2 sheets, as necessary. Spread with hummus, dividing equally. Arrange strips of roasted red pepper on top; sprinkle evenly with cheese. Bake for about 8 minutes or until pitas are toasted and toppings are hot.
Remove pitas from oven and sprinkle with remaining spinach.
