Ingredients
This hummus is great to keep on hand for a snack with raw veggies or is a great addition to top off hamburgers or sandwiches. You can also enjoy it on its own in a whole-wheat pita or bagel with tomatoes and cucumber slices.
Yield: about 1 ½ cups (375 mL)
- 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped roasted red peppers
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) tahini
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) water
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
Preparation
In a food processor, pulse together chickpeas, peppers, tahini, cumin and salt. With the food processor running, add oil and water until very smooth, scraping down sides a few times. (Allowing the food processor to run for a few minutes helps produce a very smooth hummus).
Pulse in lemon juice and garlic.
Sundried Tomato Version: Omit roasted red peppers. Use 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped sundried tomatoes that have been rehydrated in hot water and drained.
Storage: Keep in airtight container, refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

RECIPE TIP
Tahini is a toasted sesame seed paste that you can find in most grocery stores in the international aisle. You can also find it in health and bulk food stores. It adds a great nutty flavour to the hummus.
If you cook your own chickpeas, you will need 2 cups (500 mL) for this recipe.
