This is my favorite recipe for homemade hummus. It is so easy (the hardest part is finding tahini - look at health or specialty foods stores near the other nut butters or in the Middle Eastern foods). It's a staple at our house, since Mira LOVES it!! We like it too, but we eat it as a dip - not with a spoon and certainly not with our hands!
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
1 can chickpeas (Garbonzo beans), drained
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 c tahini (sesame paste)1/3 c lemon juice
1/2 c roasted red peppers, chopped
1/4 tsp dried basil
dash of salt - to taste
- Add first four ingredients to food processor, process until smooth.
- Add red peppers, pulse until peppers are mostly pureed (small bits are okay).
- Stir in basil and salt.
