Zutaten:
- 2 red bell peppers, (seeded and cut in 1-inch strips,)
- 1 jalapeno pepper, (seeded, and sliced in half length wise (optional))
- 2 cups cooked chickpeas, (canned chickpeas are fine, drained and rinsed)
- 2 to 4 garlic cloves, (chopped)
- 5 tbsp tahini paste
- 1 to 2 tsp sumac
- 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp smoked paprika, (adjust to your liking)
- 1 lemon, (juice of)
- extra virgin olive oil,
- salt
Arbeitsschritte:
- Preheat oven to 450°F (skip this part if using jarred roasted red peppers and jalapeno.
- Roast the peppers: Place the red bell pepper strips and jalapeno in a small baking dish or cast-iron skillet. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Bake in a heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender and well-charred (turn peppers over halfway through). Remove from oven and let cool. Drain from oil.
- Blend. In the bowl of a fitted with an S-blade, add the roasted bell pepper strips from one bell pepper and jalapeno along with the chickpeas, garlic, tahini, sumac, smoked paprika, and lemon juice. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil. Run the processor until you reach the desired creamy paste consistency. Test and adjust seasoning, if needed. Run the processor again to combine.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving dish, and spoon swoops and swirls into the hummus. Mince the remaining pepper strips and sprinkle them over the hummus. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle a pinch of paprika or sumac for garnish, if you like. Serve with warm pita and sliced veggies.
