Moi Moi Sauce Houmous with Pitta Bread

Experience the Flavor of Spicy Hummus with Pitta Bread

Serves: 4
Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

For the houmous:

• 400g tinned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 tbsp tahini
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 80ml Moi Moi Sauce Original
• Pinch of sea salt

To serve:

• 4 pitta breads, warmed
• Extra drizzle of olive oil
• Sprinkle of smoked paprika (optional)

Method

1. Blend the houmous. Add chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and salt to a food processor. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen the texture.
   
   
2. Add the sauce. Spoon in the Moi Moi Sauce and pulse a few more times until combined but slightly marbled - you want streaks of sauce running through rather than a uniform blend.
   
   
3. Serve. Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and dust lightly with smoked paprika if using. Serve with warm pitta for dipping.

Chef’s Tip

Hold back a few chickpeas and stir them through at the end for extra texture. And don’t overblend - a little roughness gives it character and helps the Moi Moi Sauce shine through.
