I got pretty sick of never finding the hummus that satisfied my palette. So I whipped up what I knew what hummus consisted of and FRIENDS…. Let me tell you, you will never buy store-bought again.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- 1 can of garbanzo beans
- 1 Bell Red Pepper
- About 3-4 tablespoons of Tahini
- Garlic Cloves
- 2-3 Ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- Lemon Juice ~ 1 tablespoon
HOW TO MAKE IT:
- First, roast your bell pepper. If you have a gas stove, then turn on one of the burners and place pepper directly to the flame. If you don’t have a gas stove, turn on your broiler in your oven onto high. For both cooking processes, wait until it is charred on both sides. Then run under cold water to take off the blistered skin. You should be left with a bare pepper.
- Chop and add the pepper to the bowl to then add some salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Drain garbanzo beans, but reserve a little bit of the juice from the beans.
- Add beans and the rest of the ingredients to your blender, food processor or I use a Nutribullet. Whatever it is! Add it all to the device.
- Blend.
- Add more tahini or water if it is too thick or not blending!
- Place into a pyrex and add the roasted red pepper mixture on top!
