There is no doubt that hummus is one of the delicious and healthier dip out there, and so easy to prepare. Just follow the simple classic version and put your imagination and you will have countless variations to keep your taste buds on their toes. We absolutely enjoy hummus, whether it is Roasted spicy aubergine hummus, Caramelized Onion Hummus Roasted carrot and Coriander Hummus Roasted Garlic Hummus Raosted Red Pepper hummus Jalapeno Hummus

We can have these hummus with either vegetable crudités ,crackers or as spread or just eat it with the spoon. This time I made Lavash or Lavosh, thin ,crispy and crunchy bread which hails from Middle east. Authentic Lavash made from flour, salt and water, sometimes yeast is used too and sesame seeds sprinkled on before baking.

However nowadays I have seen Lavash sprinkled with various kind of seeds, herbs, Cheese and spices. Lavash are delicious as picnic or pre dinner nibble and often served with middle eastern dips like hummus, Baba Ghanoush , Tatziki or with soft cheese.

when you are in a hurry and TV screen on pause, as family members are getting impatience you don’t want to be in the kitchen, do you? Then your brain starts ticking and you come up with a great Instant Lavash Crackers. Okay, one might say it’s not traditionally prepared, but definitely tastes great. Also crunchy, spicy and flavourful.

I used wholemeal seeded Tortilla wraps, just a little margarine and for topping I used various kind of seeds, herbs and paprika. In less than ten minutes we had perfect, delicious and healthy crackers, which we immensely enjoyed while watching cricket match because hummus and Lavash are an excellent snack food to have around when you have a company of friends and family.

HOW TO MAKE INSTANT LAVASH CRACKERS

  • 3-4 seeded tortilla wraps
  • 1 tbsp. margarine
  • and for topping sesame seeds ( Black and white ) poppy, cumin seeds, few dried herbs and paprika.

Method:- Preheat oven to gas mark 6. Take one tortilla wrap, place on a baking sheet and apply very little margarine thinly. Sprinkle seeds, herbs and paprika. Now with using pizza cutter cut tortilla into stripes but not all the way, keep ends together so you still have round tortilla wrap but cut in between. Bake for no more than five minutes. Keep an eye on like a hawk. ( experience speaks 😛 ) Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes, it will get hardened more once it cools down. Serve with sumac hummus.
