Is there anything missing in such a meal?

Missing? what do you mean exactly?

 

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

what would you add?

 

[HeyItsSara]

Depends. I'm prediabetic and have high cholesterol so I'd need more protein.

 

[pictonguy]

Well, it looks like hummus probably made with chickpeas with some whole chickpeas, olive oil, parsley some fruit maybe apple and grapes and a piece of flatbread, it that right?

Anyway, there's no rules as far as what constitutes a particular meal and not too sure in what context your referring too.

And less carbs imo.

it's raw onion.. but yes for the rest.. "syrian" olives too........

 

[Sir_Loin_of_Beef]

How about a big lettuce and tomato salad?

Yeah, love raw onion. The grilled chicken thigh would be a good addition. Sara's answer is why context is important. Personally that's too many carbs for me since I'm on a low carb diet and have been for about a decade for health reasons.

it's a nice idea

some people will eat the hummus without the pita.......

next time i want to toast the pita in the oven

 

[Badjak]

If you are going to do that chicken, you may as well use the charcoal fire for the pita bread as well

 

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

i freeze some of the bbq meats and heat again..
but you are right..

 

[blissful]

The pita and hummus would go good as half my plate, the other half non-starchy vegetables like fresh or steamed greens, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, whatever is in season. The hummus has a lot of protein some fat, pita is mostly carbs, vegetables are mostly carb and lots of vitamins and minerals.

Green vegetables

unlike shawarma, when i chopped grilled chicken thigh with a knife earlier for another use it didnt came out well at all.. it is because shawarma is a loose shape when the meat is served.. the thigh i chopped i was not loose shapes but more cutted pieces.

it is not a very good result in my opinion..

sometimes shawarma does get served in israel in the center of a hummus plate.. i like it..

I would add warmed flat pitas and diced fresh tomato. I like spreading the hummus onto the pitas, then adding other toppings. Sometimes I'll even make a pita 'pizza' by spreading the hummus onto the pita breads, adding diced tomato, maybe some pineapple and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese, then baking in the oven until the pita bread is crispy. One of my favorite yummies.

That tears it. I need to stop at the local Greek place soon to get me some hummus.

@Linda0818 yes, tomato goes so well with hummus and pita bread. I don't make pita breads and we usually have ww bread, toasted, then spread the hummus and spoons tomato salsa on top. It's a good flavor combination.

I really have to give this a try. It sounds great. I have never had a pita pizza. I have the hummus; I have the wholewheat pitas; I have other toppings. I don't think I waould have thought of using hummus as a pizza sauce.
