Za’atar Hummus with Grilled Naan

This za’atar hummus with grilled naan is a delicious grill-top option to freshen up your summer snack-plate options. Earthy, tangy za’atar pairs perfectly with fresh, tender naan that’s best enjoyed warm off the grill.

Grilled Naan Ingredients:
2 cups white flour
1 tsp. yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 tsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. plain yogurt
1 egg
1 Tbl nigella seed

Za’atar Hummus Ingredients:
1-15oz can chickpeas, drained,
liquid reserved
2 Tbl lemon juice
2 tsp. Hummus Spice Mix
3 Tbl. tahini paste
1 Tbl Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 Tbl Za’atar Blend

Combine chickpeas, half of reserved liquid, lemon juice, and Hummus Spice in food processor and blend. Slowly add tahini paste until mixture is smooth. Top with Za’atar Blend and EVOO.

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water (1/2 cup). Let stand about 15 minutes until frothy.

In a separate large bowl combine flour, yogurt and egg. Add yeast mixture and knead. Add salt at the end and continue to knead for a few more minutes or until the dough is soft.

Transfer the dough to a flat surface and form into 4 balls. Let rise for another 2 hours.

At grill side, lightly oil the grill and then roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter. Sprinkle with half of nigella seeds. Turn over and brush the cooked side with butter and grill until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes.

Remove from grill and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared.

Enjoy naan warm with hummus.
