A quick and easy hummus recipe with roasted red peppers and garlic Ingredients:
two 1-pound 3-ounce cans chick-peas, drained and rinsed |
1 head of garlic (medium sized) |
2/3 cup well stirred tahini |
1/2 8oz jar roasted red peppers (just the peppers leave the juice) |
1/4 cup fresh key lime juice, or to taste (you can use lemon juice as well) |
1/4 cup olive oil, or to taste |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. On a cutting board cut the tips of the garlic cloves with a knife. Take the first layer of skin off but leave the head intact.
2. In a small oven-proof container place the head of garlic and lightly drizzle with olive oil (I use a small souffle cup. Bake at 350 degrees F until garlic is soft to the touch and gives when poked with a fork. After done let cool and squeeze the roasted garlic paste into the food processor
3. In a food processor purée the chick-peas with the garlic paste, the tahini, the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of the oil, and 1/2 cup water, and the peppers scraping down the sides, until the hummus is smooth.
4. add salt and pepper to taste. Add water, if necessary, to thin the hummus to the desired consistency and transfer the hummus to a bowl
5. Serve with pitas pieces or flat bread of choice
