Roasted red pepper Hummus 


This is actually Adam's recipe for hummus or as my mom likes to say "Hume-is", he loves it and makes it quite often. You can have it plain or add extra garlic, chipotle, herbs, etc... And it's way way cheaper to make your own at home, they charge $4 plus for a little dinky container at most grocery stores.  You can make some little oven baked pita chips or like we did tortilla chips.

Ingredients:
2 cups of chickpeas/garbanzos*
1 roasted red pepper
5 cloves of garlic
2 lemons juiced
2 Tablespoons tahini
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 Tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons of cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
To make:
Roast red bell pepper either stove top over an open flame or in the oven, peel skin and deseed. Put everything in a food processor except olive oil, blend ingredients well and then slowly pour in olive oil to emulsify. You can also use a stick blender.

*I used dry garbanzos and cooked them, you can also use canned... dry is always going to be cheaper and healthier though.
