Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 15.5-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • ¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped, plus 1/2 whole parsley leaves

  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 4 plum tomatoes, diced

  • 4 pitas or pieces flat bread, warmed

  • 1 8-ounce container hummus

  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)

  • ½ cup plain yogurt

  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chickpeas and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned, about 5 minutes.

  2. Remove from heat. Add the lemon juice, chopped parsley, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper and toss.

  3. In a small bowl, combine the whole parsley leaves, tomatoes, and the remaining oil, salt, and pepper.

  4. Divide the bread among 4 plates and spread with the hummus. Top with the chickpea mixture, onion, and hot sauce. Serve with the parsley salad, yogurt, and lemon wedges.
