Homemade Lebanese Pizza...

Lebanese Pizza

Ingredients:

1 piece Pita bread (rosemary works quite well)

5 Kalamata olives

5 slices cucumber

3 baby bella mushrooms

1 fresh onion

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon thyme

1 dash cili powder

1 dash black pepper

Homemade Hummus

(Note: this hummus recipe makes a lot more than is necessary for this recipe. Also, picture shows two pizzas, but ingredients listed are for one. Simply double amounts for best results.) 

Directions:

1. Using the link above, make homemade hummus (ingredients: 1 19 oz. can garbonzo beans,  3 tbs Tahini paste, 2 tbs olive oil, 4 tbs lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic, 1 tsp salt, dash of Cumin)

2. Spread hummus over pita bread

3. Spread olives and cucumbers over pita

4. Sprinkle  1/5 tsp of thyme on pita

5. Chop onion (only use about 1/10 of onion) and mushrooms

6. Sauté mushrooms and onions in olive oil for about 2 minutes (until mushrooms are brown)

7. Add dash of chili powder, dash of black pepper, and rest of thyme to mushroom/onion mix

8. Spread mix over pita

9. Munch

I realize that this dish is not distinctly Lebanese nor is it actually pizza. But here's the deal, this is what I made myself for lunch (making up the recipe as I went), and it was just too good not to write down. So, if you happen to try this, let me know what you think of it! I'll be scarfing these more and more often.
