Roasted Red Peppers Hummus

Roasted Red Peppers Hummus

Ingredients:

• 1 12-oz. jar roasted red peppers, drained
• 2 15-oz. cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup tahini
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Directions:

1. Pat the roasted red peppers dry, removing as much water as possible.
2. Combine the peppers, chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt and cumin in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth and well combined, 3 to 4 minutes, adding 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time, as needed, to keep the processor moving.
3. Add the olive oil and process for 10 more seconds.
4. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and make a pretty swirl on the top. Top with parsley, a sprinkle of paprika and a drizzle of olive oil, if you like.
5. Serve with homemade pitas.
