Cucumber And Tomato Sandwich With Garlic White Bean Hummus Recipes

Steps:

• Place 2 baking sheets in oven and preheat to 500 degrees F.
• Peel cucumbers. Cut them in 1/2 to remove seeds and slice them widthwise into slices about 1/8-inch thick.
• Core the tomatoes and dice into 1/2-inch pieces.
• On a lightly floured surface, using a rolling pin, roll dough balls into a circle about 8 inches in diameter and about 1/8-inch thick. With a spoon divide the hummus evenly between the 4 dough rounds and spread thin to cover the entire surface.
• Remove the baking sheets from oven and sprinkle evenly with cornmeal. Transfer the prepared dough rounds to the baking sheets and bake until slightly underdone (lightly browned but still pliable), about 8 to 12 minutes.
• While the dough rounds are baking, toss together the cucumber slices, diced tomatoes, oregano, garlic, chili flakes, olive oil, and vinegar, season with gray salt and pepper, to taste.
• Let the baked dough cool slightly then top with the cucumber salad divided evenly among the 4 doughs. Crumble feta cheese over the top and serve open faced.

Steps:

• Put the tomatoes, cucumber, and white beans into a bowl and toss to combine. Whisk together the hummus and vinaigrette and add to the bean mixture. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste. Spread the lettuce onto a platter, top with the bean mixture and serve.

Steps:

• Puree a 15-ounce can drained white beans with 1 garlic clove, 2 tablespoons each lemon juice and tahini, add 1 teaspoon cumin and 1/2 cup chopped scallions; add water if needed. Season with salt. Serve with pita or breadsticks.

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the chickpeas with their liquid from the can, the lemon juice, garlic, tahini, salt and the cumin. Process until combined. With the machine running, add 1 tablespoon olive oil (see Cook's Note) and process until the hummus is smooth but still thick. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula, as necessary.
• Taste the hummus and don't be afraid to add more salt, lemon juice and/or cumin, if desired.
• To make the classic hummus bowl swoosh: Place a heaping dollop of hummus in the center of the plate. In one smooth motion, with the tip of a large serving spoon in the center of the hummus, push the spoon down and rotate while you spin the plate in the opposite direction.
• Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika. Top with feta, cucumber, tomatoes, and olives. Serve with the pita.

Steps:

• Spread each slice of bread with 1 tablespoon cream cheese. On one slice of bread, arrange cucumber slices in a single layer. Cover with sprouts, then sprinkle with oil and vinegar. Layer tomato slices, lettuce, and pepperoncini. Spread other slice of bread with mashed avocado. Close sandwich and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Cut 1/2-inch slice off top of garlic bulb. Drizzle oil over garlic bulb. Wrap garlic in foil. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until garlic is soft when pierced with a knife; cool slightly.
• Squeeze garlic into food processor. Add beans, reserved bean liquid, lemon juice and salt. Cover and process until uniform consistency.
• Spoon dip into serving dish. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with pita bread wedges.
