This healthy and delicious hummus makes a wonderful appetizer or simple snack.
Ingredients
  • 2 whole red peppers, sliced with seeds removed (1/2 cup jar roasted red peppers)
  • 2 cups fresh chickpeas, cooked (1 - 15 oz. can chickpeas)
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 1 large lemon, juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup bean liquid or water
Instructions
  1. Roast red peppers until golden brown.
  2. Remove from oven and allow to cool. In a food processor, combine tahini and lemon juice and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. You can use the entire lemon, peel and all (without seeds), though the result will be a strong lemony flavor. Your choice!
  3. Next, add peppers, garlic, olive oil, cumin and salt and process 30 seconds. Scrape sides and process 30 seconds longer or until fully blended.
  4. Add chickpeas and process until smooth, 1-2 minutes. You might want to alternately stop and scrape sides throughout this process.
  5. If hummus is thicker than you prefer, add your reserved bean liquid/water accordingly.
