Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Peppers: Roast fresh red bell peppers over an open flame or in the oven until charred if not using jarred peppers. Allow to cool, then peel off skins and remove seeds to bring out smoky sweetness.
  2. Blend the Base: In a food processor, combine drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and cumin. Blend until smooth, gradually adding water or olive oil to achieve a creamy consistency.
  3. Add Roasted Peppers: Add the prepared roasted red peppers to the mixture and blend until the color is uniform and the texture remains silky. Taste and adjust salt, lemon juice, or seasoning as needed.
  4. Finish and Serve: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and optionally sprinkle with smoked paprika or fresh herbs for presentation. Ready to enjoy!

Notes

  • Use quality canned chickpeas; rinse well to reduce sodium and improve flavor.
  • Peel peppers thoroughly to remove all charred skin for smooth texture and to avoid bitterness.
  • Add olive oil or water gradually to avoid thinning the hummus too much.
  • Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to let flavors meld and deepen.
  • Adjust tahini amount according to taste to balance creaminess without overpowering flavor.
