Description

This Mediterranean Flatbread with Fresh Herbs & Hummus is a quick and delicious snack or light meal that combines the creamy richness of hummus with a fragrant blend of fresh parsley, cilantro, and mint. Warmed flatbread serves as a perfect base, topped with zesty lemon and aromatic spices to brighten every bite. Ready in just 17 minutes, this dish offers vibrant flavors with optional fresh vegetables adding extra texture and freshness.

Ingredients

Base

  • 1 ready-made flatbread or naan

Herb Mixture

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Spread

  • 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

Optional Toppings

  • Sliced cherry tomatoes
  • Sliced cucumber
  • Olives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Begin by setting your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for warming the flatbread.
  2. Warm the flatbread: Place the flatbread or naan onto a baking sheet and heat it in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes. This step ensures the bread becomes slightly crispy and warm, providing a perfect base for the toppings.
  3. Prepare the herb mixture: In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh parsley, cilantro, and mint with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to blend the flavors evenly.
  4. Spread the hummus: Once the flatbread is warm, use a spoon or spatula to evenly spread the hummus over its surface, creating a creamy layer.
  5. Top with herbs and optional veggies: Spoon the fresh herb mixture on top of the hummus layer. Add any optional toppings like sliced cherry tomatoes, cucumber, or olives to enhance flavor and texture.
  6. Slice and serve: Cut the flatbread into desired portions and serve immediately while warm and fresh.

Notes

  • If you prefer, you can toast the flatbread in a skillet on medium heat instead of the oven for a quicker alternative.
  • Use homemade hummus for a fresher taste or mix in roasted garlic for a flavor boost.
  • Feel free to substitute the fresh herbs with dried herbs if necessary, but fresh herbs provide the best bright flavor.
  • Adding a sprinkle of feta cheese or a drizzle of tahini can add extra richness.
  • This flatbread is best served immediately after assembling to keep the bread from becoming soggy.
