Everyone ready for a new recipe? I know I am!
This time I have a hummus recipe for you all. I’m a huge hummus fan, personally, and use it for more than just a dip for pita chips. For example, sandwiches. If you add hummus to a sandwich, it gives an extra layer of creaminess and turns the flavor way up.
I’ve made plain hummus in the past, but wanted to spice it up a bit. I chose red bell pepper, and roasted it to bring out the flavor some more. SO YUMMY!
This hummus is made using a food processor, but I’ve made it in a blender before with no problems.
Aright, let’s start!
Ingredients
- 1 can garbanzo beans (15 oz)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 large cloves garlic, 3 if smaller cloves
- 5 tbsp. tahini
- 1-2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 5-7 tbsp. olive oil
- Salt
- Paprika
Recipe
- Start by roasting your pepper until it’s mostly charred, all around.
- Let pepper cool and set aside.
- Add the garbanzo beans and garlic to the food processor and blend until combined.
- The pepper should be cooled a bit by now, so slice the pepper, and take out the seeds.
- Add the pepper to the food processor along with the tahini and 1 tbsp. of lemon juice. Blend until combined.
- Next, you need to add the olive oil. With the food processor on, slowly add the olive oil, 1 tbsp. at a time until smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt, and blend.
- Add more salt and/or lemon juice if needed to be seasoned to your liking.
- Once it’s seasoned, transfer it to a bowl.
- Sprinkle with paprika and enjoy!
There we have it! An easy hummus recipe that tastes great!
