Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) Canned chickpeas
- 0.5 cup Roasted red peppers
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by draining and rinsing the canned chickpeas thoroughly with cold water.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, ground cumin, paprika, and salt.
Blend the mixture until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl to ensure everything is well combined.
While the food processor is running, gradually add water one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.
Add the ground flaxseed to increase the protein content, and pulse the food processor a few more times to incorporate it evenly.
Taste the hummus, and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve the hummus with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or use it as a spread in wraps and sandwiches.
