Ingredients
- 2 red bell peppers
- 4 tablespoons Tahini
- Juice from 1 lemon or more as desired
- 4-5 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 cans garbanzo beans chickpeas – 30 ounces total, drained
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil + more for garnish
- For Serving: pita bread spicy red pepper flakes
Instructions
TO ROAST THE PEPPERS
- To roast the peppers over an open flame, turn a gas flame to HIGH. Set the peppers directly over the flame. Turn the peppers occasionally with tongs until all sides are blackened and blistered. Do not let them burn or turn white.
- To roast the peppers in the oven, preheat oven to 400 degrees or set it to broil. Set the peppers onto a baking sheet (aluminum foil will make for easy cleanup), and bake for 20-30 minutes, until the skins are blackened and blistered, turning occasionally to evenly roast the peppers.
- To roast the peppers in the oven broiler, set your oven to broil. Set the peppers onto a baking sheet (aluminum foil will make for easy cleanup), skin sides up, and broil for 5-10 minutes, until the skins are blackened and blistered, turning every few minutes to evenly roast the peppers.
- Allow the peppers to cool enough to handle. Transfer them to a bowl and cover them with plastic or a paper towel, or place them into baggies or paper bags to let the skins steam and loosen.
- Peel, stem and seed, then chop the peppers.
FOR THE HUMMUS
- Next, add the red peppers to a food processor along with the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, cumin and garbanzo beans. Process to form a paste.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to process until the hummus becomes thick and creamy.
- Transfer to a bowl and garnish with spicy red chili flakes and extra olive oil. Serve with pita bread.
Notes
- Heat Factor: Mild, though you can spice things up with extra spicy peppers and/or spicy chili flakes.
- NOTE: Calories estimated for the hummus only, without pita bread for serving.
