HOW DO YOU MAKE HUMMUS

Hummus is a dip made with chickpeas or garbanzo beans. Classic hummus has chickpeas, tahini paste, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. It is blended until smooth in a blender or food processor. You can make any flavor variations of hummus, like this Roasted Red Pepper Hummus. It is a delicious and healthy dip and fantastic spread in vegetable wraps for lunch.

CAN I MAKE HUMMUS WITHOUT TAHINI

Yes! You can make delicious hummus without the tahini, which is a paste made from ground sesame seeds. I don’t always have it on hand so to be able to make hummus without tahini, is perfect for me! The hummus still has a wonderful texture. In this roasted red pepper version, I do not miss the nutty flavor that the tahini paste adds.

HOW TO ROAST RED PEPPERS

Making roasted red peppers at home is simple. Place whole red bell pepper on a parchment paper baking sheet and roast in the oven preheated to 450 degrees, until blistery and soft. Remove from oven, place in a paper bag and close OR place in a bowl and cover with a sheet of aluminum foil sheet, forming it into a dome. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes. After that, the skin is easy to peel off the pepper and the pepper is ready to use in recipes. You can also follow my recipe for Marinated Roasted Red Peppers. It’s so easy!
