roasted red peppers + hummus

I dare say this is 100% better than the store-bought kind.

This is a wonderful hummus variation containing loads of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (a 15 oz can yields about 1 3/4 cup chickpeas)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• juice of 1 lemon

• salt & pepper to taste

• 1/4 tsp chopped basil

• 1 medium roasted red bell pepper

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1. In a food processor, blend chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and basil. Blend until smooth.

2. Add in roasted peppers. Slowly pour in olive oil while hummus is blending.

3. Adjust seasoning to your taste if necessary. You may add water in 1-tablespoon increments if the hummus is too thick.

4. Enjoy your freshly made hummus for up to one week!
