Hummus Bake with Feta and Kalamata Olives

This heated version of hummus, with a sprinkling of feta and olives, is perfect for dipping with crackers or lavash (a thin, flat Armenian bread).

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. Place the chickpeas, garlic, stock, tahini, lemon juice, oil, chili sauce, pepper and cumin in the bowl of a food processor. Purée until smooth and transfer to a mixing bowl.

3. Add 1/4 cup of the feta (leaving the remaining feta for the topping) and the olives and stir to combine.

4. Place the mixture in a small ovenproof baking dish lightly coated with cooking spray and sprinkle with the remaining feta. Bake for 12 minutes, or just until heated through and the top is slightly browned.

5. Garnish with cilantro and serve with pita wedges or crackers.

Nutrition Watch: Store-bought regular stock is high in sodium, so it’s better to make stock at home, since you are the one who controls the amount of sodium in your pot. If you are buying stock, select low-sodium stock more often.
