Veggie Pizza with garlic hummus

Hummus on pizza? You bet! The thick Middle Eastern sauce made with mashed chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, and garlic totally transforms the notion of what pizza tastes like. If you’ve had hummus on pita bread — one of the more traditional ways — that flavor is similar to what you should expect here. Aside from the sauce swap, the rest of the pizza will seem familiar. Toppings are Mediterranean but common: spinach, bell pepper, tomatoes, and cheese.

You can just as easily form and pile the toppings on two small pizza crusts as you can one family-sized crust. Feel free to save an unbaked pizza for later by freezing it directly on the peel. Once it’s frozen solid, just wrap it in plastic and return it to the freezer

Classic Hummus with Lemon & Garlic

Whether you call them chickpeas, garbanzos, or ceci [CHAY-chee], these beans are versatile. Available dried and canned, some recipes lend themselves better to one type over another.

For the Classic Hummus, dried are best. Just soak them overnight in plenty of water, like you would any dried bean. Then to cook them for hummus, stir the drained legumes with baking soda before adding the cooking water. This helps loosen their skins so they’ll cook quickly.

Baba Ganoush

Similar to hummus, baba ganoush is just as delicious and popular on any Mediterranean mezze platter. But this dip is all about eggplant. Known for its smoky flavor, baba ganoush is made from the flesh of deeply charred eggplant. After grilling it, drain the eggplant in a salad spinner to remove excess liquid. This way the flavor of the dip is concentrated. Then a quick buzz in a food processor with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic yields a smooth and creamy dip like none other.
