Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned chickpeas
- 2 whole roasted red peppers
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp cold water
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
If not using jarred roasted red peppers, roast two red peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is charred and blistered. Let them cool, then peel off the charred skin and remove the seeds.
In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even blending.
If the hummus is too thick, add the cold water one tablespoon at a time and blend until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or rosemary to your preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika (optional), and a sprig of fresh rosemary for presentation.
Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetable sticks, or crackers. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
