Stephanie S said:Please help. I have lost this recipe and my host on Sunday has selected it for her show. I am not sure if it is in one of the books that I have, because if it is the page is now invisible. I would appreciate if someone could e-mail me the recipe.
Thanks so much!

Cook's Tip: Substitute 1 tbsp/15 mL olive oil for Pantry Basil Oil, if desired.
To make the hummus, you will need 1 can of chickpeas, 1/4 cup of tahini, 1 garlic clove, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Set aside for later use.
You will need 1 package of puff pastry, 1 cup of hummus, 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup of chopped kalamata olives, 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
Roll out the puff pastry and spread the hummus over the top, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle with tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Yes, you can use any type of crumbled cheese such as goat cheese or shredded mozzarella. You can also omit the cheese if desired.
