Loaded hummus is always a good idea, but when its topped with crispy za'atar artichokes, a herby green sauce and sesame pita chips, you know you're onto something good.

Method

Preheat oven to 200 degrees, or 180 degrees fan. Toss the artichokes in za'atar and a glug of olive oil (skip if artichokes come in their own oil). Season to taste with salt and pepper then place into the oven to crisp up for 20-25 minutes. They should be beautifully charred and crisp around the edges.

While the artichokes roast, put all the ingredients for the hummus in a food processor and blend until completely smooth. Season to taste then set to one side.

Combine all the ingredients for the green sauce in a bowl and season to taste. Set this to one side as well.

Finally, brush the flatbread with oil. Scatter the sesame seeds on a plate then press the oiled flatbread down into the sesame seeds until the whole thing is fully coated. Cut into triangles then place on a baking tray with a drizzle more oil and place into the oven for 5-10 minutes until crisp.

Plate everything up on a bed of the hummus, with whatever veg/pickles you like. Drizzle with a touch more olive oil and season to taste.
