This is an easy and delicious roasted red bell peppers and garlic Hummus recipe. If you are familiar with the hummus recipe, then today I will help you play around with it and try it with an incredible flavor of roasted garlic and red bell peppers.
Juice of one whole lime(You can use also lemon juice)
2tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2tbsptahini
2tbspwater (or the chickpeas cooking juice)
1 1/2teaspoonpaprika
salt to taste
Instructions
Roasted red pepper and garlic
Cut the red peppers into quarters and seed them.Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil (make sure there is enough olive oil all over the peppers)
Cut the garlic into half pieces, drizzle them with olive oil and wrap them in foil paper and add them next to the peppers.
Bake everything in a preheated oven to 200 on the upper level of the oven. Turn the pepper regularly until they are perfectly roasted (Remember to watch the cooking so that the peppers do not turn black)
When cooked, let them cool before peeling the peppers and removing the excessively black parts. Peel the garlic too and keep everything aside.
Prepare the hummus
Put the drained chickpeas in your food processor (or blender). Add the tahini, the strips of red pepper, the roasted garlic, olive oil, lime juice, paprika, and salt.
Blend for a good 5 minutes (or more) until you get a creamy texture.
If you are not satisfied with the consistency of your hummus, you can add gradually some water (1 tbsp) (or a little more olive oil, or a bit of the water where you have cooked the chickpeas) to give it a very creamy consistency.
Pour the hummus into the dish of your choice and refrigerate until ready to serve.
