Hommus and pitta on a Saturday night

In today's Good Weekend mag (page 28) there was a recipe for pitta, so I started putting together the dough to prove and thought about what might be good to accompany it.  I had a little bit of tahini and a can of chickpeas in the pantry, so the obvious answer to that would be hommus. 

Paired perfectly with a cranberry cocktail ...

... and my hunky, frypan-wielding husband.

We ate the finished product straight out of the pan, dipped in the creamy hommus.

Easy hommus:

In the bowl of a food processor, put some chopped chilli, two cloves of garlic, 2 tbsp water, 2 tbsp tahini, 3 tbsp olive oil - and pulse until well blended.  Add a drained tin of chickpeas and a few big pinches of fresh chopped parsley and blend again until smooth and creamy.  Add juice of one lemon and salt to taste. Serve with pitta bread.
