Almost every country in the Middle East has a recipe for hummus, a tasty snack or side dish.
Pita bread is a small, flat, hollow round bread.
If pita is heated, it often puffs up like a balloon, then deflates immediately upon cooling. Puree until smooth. Chill until ready to serve. Place the pita bread in the microwave for about 30 seconds or in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove pita from the oven or microwave.
