Over the Top Hummus Bar
When we say over the top, we mean it. Jamie's signature hummus is the centerpiece of this party feast, and is accompanied by Za’atar Spiced Crispy Chickpeas, Spicy Lamb Crumbles, Simple Roasted Beets, Pickled Carrots and Cabbage, Hard-Boiled Eggs, Colorful Harissa Carrots, Sautéed Eggplant, Sautéed Mushrooms and Caramelized Onions, as well as fresh veggies like cucumbers and tomatoes. Artfully arrange on a small table, and let your guests build their ultimate hummus bowl.
Make sure to use a great quality extra virgin olive oil. We love Colavita!
