My husband and I discovered red bean hummus at a local restuarant, after finding a basic recipe on the internet I spent some time playing with the flavors to expand the recipe. This recipe using roasted red pepper is a beautiful red color and I recommend topping with a small amount of olive tapenade to really enhance the flavors nicely. I used half of a four ounce jar of roasted red peppers, however if you prefer you can use fresh roasted red peppers.
