Bagel with hummus & cucumber

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Quick Meals
This recipe is a meeting of New York bagel culture and Middle Eastern flavours. The secret lies in the play of textures: thick, creamy, earthy hummus is the perfect partner for crunchy, fresh cucumber and the bagel with its crusty exterior and soft interior. A modern, plant-based energy source where lemony-garlicky notes refresh the rich chickpea cream.

Instructions

1 ✓

Halve the bagels and toast until the cut surface is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Tip: Toasting is essential: the smell of warm dough (release of volatile oils) and crunchy texture give the true bagel experience.
2 ✓

Wash the cucumber and cut into wafer-thin slices, or use a vegetable peeler to make longitudinal ribbons.

Tip: Thin slices adhere better to the cream and ensure even freshness in every bite.
3 ✓

Stir the hummus in the bowl to make it creamy. If too dense, loosen with a drop of water.

Tip: Store-bought hummus is often too thick; mechanical stirring aerates it (stabilising the emulsion).
4 ✓

Spread both halves of the warm bagel generously with hummus. This is the 'glue' that holds everything in place.

Tip: The temperature contrast between warm bagel and cold hummus makes the first bite exciting.
5 ✓

Lay the cucumber slices on top like roof tiles, salt and pepper lightly, then sprinkle with coarsely chopped parsley.

Tip: Salt the cucumber immediately before eating, otherwise it releases water and soaks the bread (osmosis).
6 ✓

Drizzle a few drops of good quality olive oil over the top and cover with the bagel hat.

Tip: Oil is an extra flavour carrier that highlights the aromas of parsley and chickpea.

Recipe FAQ

What if the hummus is too thick?
Mix in a teaspoon of cold water or lemon juice to loosen it.
Which cucumber should I choose?
Snake cucumber (English cucumber) is best as it has thin skin and smaller seeds, making the sandwich less watery.
