Recipe: Mediterranean Flat Bread

Mediterranean Flat Bread

1 (10-ounce) package refrigerated pizza crust dough
1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans (chick peas), rinsed, drained
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh garlic
1 (8-ounce) package (2 cups) feta cheese with sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 (2 1/4-ounce) can sliced pitted ripe olives, drained
1/3 cup roasted red peppers, cut into strips

Heat oven to 425 F. Lightly spray baking sheet with no stick cooking spray. Unroll dough. Press to 15 x 10-inch rectangle onto prepared baking sheet; prick all over with fork. Bake for 10 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool completely.

Place garbanzo beans, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic in food processor bowl fitted with metal blade. Cover; process until smooth (30 to 60 seconds).

Spread garbanzo bean mixture over crust; sprinkle with cheese, oregano, olives and red peppers.

To serve, cut into squares.

Makes 24 servings.

TIP: The garbanzo bean mixture, called hummus, makes a great appetizer served with toasted pita triangles
