Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Author Kit Graham

Ingredients

  • 2 Large Red Bell Peppers
  • 2 cans Chick Peas
  • cup Tahini
  • 2-3 tablespoons of the liquid from the Chick Peas
  • 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 cloves Garlic

Instructions

  • Start by roasting the peppers. Place the peppers over a gas burner, and char the skin of the peppers, rotating the peppers every 2 minutes. Once all of the skin has charred, let the peppers chill for a few minutes. Then slice the peppers into large pieces removing the seeds and membranes and scrap the skin off with a knife. If you don't have a gas stove, slice the peppers into large pieces and roast them in the oven at 500 degrees.
  • Once the peppers have been roasted, get to work on blending the hummus. Since I was using a blender and not a food processor, I started by adding half of the chick peas, half of the red pepper, and all the other ingredients to the blender. I blended on a medium speed until the consistency was smooth. Then I added the remaining ingredients and blended until smooth. If you overload a blender, sometimes it just can't get the job done.
  • Chill the hummus and serve. Easy as that!
