Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas Note 1
  • 1 can White beans
  • 1 large roasted red pepper from a jar, Note 2
  • 4 tablespoons tahini paste
  • juice of ½ lemon more to taste
  • 2 small garlic cloves
  • ¼ – ½ teaspoon teaspoon red chili flakes to taste
  • Fine sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • roasted chickpeas optional
  • parsley or cilantro, chopped, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend hummus: Drain the chickpeas and the white beans. Place in a food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients and process until the hummus is smooth and creamy.1 can chickpeas + 1 can white beans + 1 large roasted red pepper + 4 tablespoons tahini paste + juice of ½ lemon + 2 small garlic cloves + ¼ – ½ teaspoon teaspoon red chili flakes + fine sea salt and black pepper
  2. Adjust consistency: Stop the food processor once or twice in between and scrape down the sides of the bowl, until the hummus is smooth. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of cold water if the hummus seems too thick; I usually don't have to, the roasted red pepper is pretty juicy.
  3. Adjust the taste with salt, pepper, chili, and maybe more lemon juice.
  4. Garnish with roasted chickpeas, parsley , or cilantro, if desired.

Notes

  • Pulses: You can cook the chickpeas and beans yourself if you wish. See the instructions in the blog post.
  • You can roast your own peppers as well. See the instructions in the blog post.
