Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Ingredients

• 1 red bell pepper (Roasted; the source refers to roasted bell peppers in the directions.)
• 4 tbsp tahini sauce
• 1 lemon juice (Juice of 1 lemon.)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 clove garlic (Fresh garlic clove.)
• 1 tbsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tbsp cayenne pepper (Use in the processor and for additional seasoning as desired.)
• 0.25 tsp salt (Or more to taste; use for seasoning again with the chickpeas and roasted pepper.)
• 1 cup boiled chickpeas
• water (Add a splash only if the hummus is too thick.)

Steps

1. 1

   Roast the red bell pepper. The source does not specify the roasting temperature, time, or method.

2. 2

   In an electric food processor, combine the tahini sauce and lemon juice. Process until the mixture is smooth.

3. 3

   Add the olive oil, fresh garlic clove, cayenne pepper, and salt. Process again until incorporated.

4. 4

   Add the boiled chickpeas and roasted bell pepper. Season with additional salt and cayenne pepper as desired.

6. 6

   Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Cover and chill before serving.

Notes

The source says to roast the red bell pepper but does not provide roasting instructions, temperature, or time. It also says to cover and chill but does not specify a chilling duration.
