The most delicious hummus you can make

Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus Recipe 🌶️🥖
Hummus is a classic Middle Eastern appetizer made with chickpeas and tahini. In this twist, we’re adding roasted red bell peppers for a smoky and sweet flavor that elevates the dish to a whole new level. Follow along to create this creamy, flavorful dip that’s perfect for gatherings, snacking, or as part of a mezze platter.
Ingredients:
200g chickpeas (or two cans, drained and rinsed) 🥫
3 red bell peppers, roasted 🌶️
2-3 cups tahini (adjust to your preference)
2 garlic cloves 🧄
1 tsp sea salt 🧂
½ tsp ground cumin
1 medium lemon, juiced 🍋
½ cup olive oil 🫒
½ cup ice water ❄️
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) 🌿
1 tbsp pine nuts (optional, for garnish) 🌰
Paprika powder (for garnish)
Key Tips for Perfect Hummus:
Cook at Home for Authentic Flavor: If possible, cook your chickpeas at home to enjoy the full flavor. Alternatively, you can use canned chickpeas for convenience.
Weight Doubles After Soaking: Chickpeas increase 2.2 times in weight after soaking, so keep that in mind when measuring.
Change Soaking Water: If soaking chickpeas for 12-24 hours, change the water a few times to avoid fermentation.
Peeling is Worth It: Removing the skins from the chickpeas gives a smoother, creamier texture. Yes, it’s tedious, but the results are amazing! 🥰
Roast the Garlic: For an extra depth of flavor, roast the garlic cloves before adding them.
Alternative Garnishes: Don’t have pine nuts? Use cooked chickpeas or walnuts instead. They’re equally delicious!
Enjoy with Pita Bread: Serve this hummus with warm pita bread for the ultimate experience. 🥖
Instructions:
Roast the Bell Peppers: Grill or bake the red bell peppers until the skin is charred. Let them cool, then peel off the skin and remove the seeds.
Prepare the Chickpeas: If using dried chickpeas, soak them for 12-24 hours, changing the water frequently. Cook them until tender. If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them well.
Blend It All Together: In a food processor, combine chickpeas, roasted bell peppers, tahini, garlic, sea salt, cumin, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth.
Adjust Consistency: Gradually add ice water to achieve your desired texture. Keep blending until the hummus is creamy and fluffy.
Serve and Garnish: Transfer the hummus to a serving dish. Garnish with parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, paprika, and pine nuts.
