Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

A very creamy hummus-so good you can eat it off a spoon!

Ingredients

  • ¼ c. tahini
  • 1-2 jarred roasted red peppers chopped
  • One can of garbanzo beans
  • ¼ c. lemon juice (not from concentrate)
  • 3 T. of the liquid leftover from canned beans (or use water)
  • 2 T. EVOO
  • ½ t. cumin
  • One clove of garlic minced

Directions

  • In a food processor, add the tahini and lemon juice. Blend for one minute
  • Add in the EVOO, garlic, and cumin, and blend for one minute
  • Add in half the drained beans and blend for one minute
  • Add the other half and liquid as needed-I; used 3 T of the juice from the canned beans
  • Add in chopped pepper. Reserve a small amount of the pepper to sprinkle on top.
  • Store in containers in the fridge for up to a week. It freezes well for later use.  Serve with veggies or crackers.

Makes a healthy fiber-filling snack.

The trick is to process it thoroughly to get the hummus creamy.
