Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large red bell peppers
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 can chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are blistered and blackened.
Remove the peppers from the oven and immediately cover them with a large bowl or place them in a paper bag to steam. Allow them to sit for 10 minutes. This will help loosen the skins.
Peel the skins off the peppers and discard the seeds and stems.
In a food processor, combine the roasted peppers, garlic cloves, and the drained and rinsed chickpeas.
Add the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Process the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the processor a couple of times to ensure even blending.
Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.
Transfer the spread to a bowl and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week.
