If you’re not keen to turn the oven on, simply cut pita breads in half horizontally and toast in the toaster, or toast on the BBQ hot plate or grill for 1-2 minutes each side, until heated through and crispy, then drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with sumac pistachio blend.
Ingredients
Quickled Onion
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- ¼ red onion *
Mezze Platter with Crispy Pita Chips
- 4 pita breads
- 1½ tablespoons From My Kitchen Sumac Pistachio Blend
- 200g feta cheese
- 100g hummus
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Remaining From My Kitchen Sumac Pistachio Blend
Chopped Greek Salad
- 1 punnet cherry tomatoes
- ½ telegraph cucumber
- ½ punnet baby capsicums
- ¼ red onion
- 1 tablespoon mint leaves
- Juice of ½ lemon
Tzatziki
- 150g yoghurt
- 1 tablespoon mint leaves
- ½ teaspoon honey
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 210°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Preheat BBQ hot plate or grill (if using). Place honey/sugar and vinegar in a small pot and bring to the boil. Very thinly slice first measure of onion then add to pot. Stir to coat, then remove from heat and set aside.
-
Cut each pita bread into 6 triangles. Spread triangles out, in a single layer, on prepared tray and evenly drizzle over olive oil. Season with first measure of sumac pistachio blend and salt and pepper. Bake (on middle upper oven rack) for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden and crunchy. Watch they don’t burn.
-
While pita chips bake, prepare Greek salad. Cut cherry tomatoes in half; dice cucumber and capsicums 2cm; thinly slice remaining red onion; roughly chop both measures of mint (set second measure aside). Toss all in a large bowl with lemon juice and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Season and set aside.
-
Cut feta into 1cm slices and arrange on a large serving platter, plate or board. Mix hummus, remaining lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil together in a small bowl. Mix tzatziki ingredients together in another small bowl and place both dips on platter, alongside feta.
-
Sprinkle feta and hummus with remaining sumac pistachio blend. Arrange quickled onion, either in a small serving dish or straight onto the platter, in a pile. Arrange pita chips on the platter.
-
To serve, serve mezze platter with pita chips and chopped Greek salad in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves. Spoon plenty of Greek salad onto a side dish or plate for easy eating, or make up a mini mezze platter on your own plate.
