Instructions
Drain and rinse the chickpeas if using canned ones. Set aside.
Char the roasted red peppers on a gas flame or in the oven (if not store-bought). Peel off the charred skin and remove the seeds.
In a food processor, add the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin powder, salt, black pepper, and water.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as necessary to ensure even blending. Add more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or lemon juice as per preference.
Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. This takes about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers. Enjoy!
