Red Pepper Hummus is a vibrant and flavor-packed spread that elevates the traditional chickpeas recipe to new heights. Combining the nuttiness of chickpeas with the sweetness of roasted red peppers, this Mediterranean cuisine classic is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup tahini sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt, to taste
1/4 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1/4 cup olive oil
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the rinsed chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and ground cumin. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until fully incorporated and creamy. Adjust texture by adding water or more olive oil if needed.
Add the roasted red peppers and salt to taste, then blend again until the peppers are evenly mixed and the hummus is a vibrant red color.
Once blended to your desired consistency, taste and adjust seasonings, adding more lemon juice or salt as needed.
Transfer the Red Pepper Hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Garnish with smoked paprika or chopped herbs.
