Ingredients
Red Pepper Hummus:
- 1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans rinsed and drained
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 garlic clove
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- kosher salt
Sandwich:
- bread of choice (I used white sourdough)
- 2 Persian cucumbers shaved into ribbons
- 1 heirloom tomato sliced
- 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
- 1 avocado sliced
- banana peppers for sandwich
- butter lettuce for sandwich
- slices of cheese (I used Colby Jack)
- alfalfa sprouts
Instructions
To Make the Red Pepper Hummus:
- To a saucepan, add the drained garbanzo beans. Boil until softened, about 15 minutes. Reserve some of the boiling liquid and drain. If you like, you can peel the garbanzo beans for extra smooth hummus, but it’s very optional.
- Char a bell pepper on the stove top (or in the oven if you don’t have gas). Transfer to a bowl and cover with a lid or plastic wrap so it steams. This helps the skins come off. After 5 minutes, peel the skin using the back of a knife. And chop up the pepper, discarding the seeds.
- To a food processor, add the garbanzo beans, red pepper, grated garlic clove, tahini, lemon juice and a few pinches of salt. Blend until processed and then add about 2 tablespoons of the reserved boiling liquid. Add a few ice cubes and blend once more until very smooth. Adjust salt to your liking.
To Assemble the Sandwich:
- To assemble the sandwich, toast your bread if you like. Smother the hummus on both sides of bread. Add a few leaves of lettuce, slices of cheese, cucumber, tomato, avocado, red onions and banana peppers. Slice it up and enjoy.
Notes
- Tips and Tricks:
- i used a sliced sourdough and it was delicious. I think a seeded loaf or whole grain loaf would be great.
- Different bread options! i used a sliced sourdough and it was delicious. I think a seeded loaf or whole grain loaf would be great.
- Different cheese options! I used Colby Jack. I'm a fan of this cheese but other options that i use a lot are muenster (delicious), medium cheddar (not too sharp!), aged sliced cheddar or sliced provolone.
