Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 pitta breads
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 50 g pine nuts optional
  • 50 g tahini
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • Water
  • 400 g hummus shop bought or homemade
  • 100 g radishes sliced
  • 50 g cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
  • 50 g pomegranate seeds
  • 20 g flat leaf parsley finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sumac optional
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan)/200°C/gas mark 6/ 400°F.
  • Cut or tear the pitta breads into small squares (of around 1 inch in size). Drizzle over 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and place in the pre-heated oven for 6 minutes. Remove and turn over with a spatula, before returning to the oven for a further 6 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Heat a small frying pan and add the pine nuts, if using. Toast, stirring often for 4-5 minutes until turning golden brown.
  • Set the pitta breads and pine nuts aside to cool.
  • Place 50g tahini in a small bowl. Add the juice of a lemon, a pinch of sea salt and a few tablespoons cold water. Mix well with a fork, slowly adding more water until you have a smooth, slightly thick consistency. It’s quite normal for tahini sauce to separate slightly and look like it might curdle but keep stirring and it will thicken.
  • Place half of the toasted pitta bread squares onto a large serving dish. Cover with the hummus then add the remaining pitta breads, half of the radish slices and half of the cherry tomatoes.
  • Spoon over the tahini sauce then add the rest of the radishes and tomatoes.
  • Drizzle a tablespoon of pomegranate molasses then top with the pomegranate seeds, the chopped parsley and the sumac.
  • Serve immediately.
