roasted red pepper hummus

god, i love hummus SO MUCH. it's one of those things that i almost always have in the house. 

it's good for snacking! sandwiches! dipping veggies, nori, crackers... making wraps! sometimes i even eat it straight up, with a spoon. 

if you have a food processor (and if you don't, go get one - i'll wait) hummus is super easy to make. it honestly takes about 10 minutes. traditionally, you'd use tahini in hummus... but i'm not a big fan of tahini, and i've never found that it impacts the taste at all, so i don't bother. 

for this recipe i used canned roasted red peppers - they were on sale at costco... but you can always roast your own!


ingredients:

1 large can chickpeas (540 ml)
3 roasted red peppers
1 t lemon juice
1/8 c olive oil
up to 1/8 c water
spices - i used 1 T of a pepper/garlic blend from costco, but garlic powder, salt and pepper are all good! use what you like, and taste it as you go!

to make:

take them there chickpeas. rinse and drain em', and toss 'em in that there food processor

 add yer peppers, spices, lemon juice and olive oil, and blend well, adding a little water if required. this will depend on how thick you like your hummus. 

  
add more spices as needed, and pulse to mix!
