Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups chickpeas (19 oz/ 540 mL can drained and rinsed, 360 g)
2 whole roasted red peppers (125 g) *
1-2 cloves garlic
¼ cup olive oil (60 L/ 52 g)
¼ cup tahini (60 mL/ 68 g)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (30 mL)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika **
½ teaspoon ground cumin seed

Instructions

Step 1: Blend Ingredients

Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas (or cook some). Add to a blender or food processor.
2 cups chickpeas
Add all other ingredients to your blender or food processor. It may help to crush or mince the garlic before adding it.
2 whole roasted red peppers, 1-2 cloves garlic, ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon ground cumin seed
Blend on high speed until smooth. You may need to add extra liquid to get it blending – add 1 tablespoon at a time until the hummus is smooth.
If blending, use the tamper. If using a food processor, scrape the edges down as you go to ensure everything is well mixed together.

Step 2: Garnish and Serve

Garnish with extra chopped roasted red peppers, extra paprika and/or parsley or cilantro.
Serve cold with crackers, pita bread, pita chips, veggies or whatever you like.

Notes

*I use store-bought, canned roasted red peppers; you can make your own if you like.

**Can use sweet paprika instead.
