We start the weekend preparing what could be an ideal recipe to complete a snack dinner: roasted red pepper hummus. Only the color invites you to prepare it, right? Well imagine the taste. The roasted red pepper gives it a very pleasant intense and sweet flavor.
This red pepper hummus is ideal to prepare some toasts in the afternoon or as a complement to some carrot sticks in the dinner. If you have previously roasted the pepper, preparing it is a matter of 10 minutes, so time does not serve as an excuse for not trying it.
- 500 g. canned cooked chickpeas (do not dump the liquid)
- 3-4 tablespoons of tahini
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 60 ml. from the chickpea liquid
- ¼ cup roasted red peppers
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 60 ml. extra virgin olive oil
- Paprika, olive oil, fresh herbs and cayenne for garnish
- We put all the ingredients in a food processor and we work until they are well combined. If the hummus is too fat, add a little more of the chickpea liquid to lighten it. It may also be necessary to adjust the amount of oil.
- We serve the hummus in a plate or bowl and decorate with olive oil, paprika and fresh herbs. You can also add a crushed cayenne if you want to give it a spicy touch.
- We serve with whole wheat toast or with carrot or cucumber sticks.
