Garlicky Roasted Red Pepper Hummus 
As a dip with fresh garden picked radishes, whole wheat pita chips, baby carrots, zucchini and celery. Yummy!
As a sandwich spread for a nice lunch or an easy dinner with chips and one of my mom's homemade pickles, of course!
Garlicky Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Ingredients:
1 - 15oz. can of garbanzo beans, drained
1 Tbs. tahini
1 and 1/2 Tbs. lemon juice
1 and 1/2 Tbs. olive oil
1/2 cup roasted red bell peppers - I usually buy jarred peppers, unless I'm taking the time to roast them myself. A little liquid that clings to the peppers is all right.
4 or 5 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/4 tsp. of salt
Directions:
Simply pour all the ingredients into a food processor (I hope you have one) and blend until it is a nice, smooth consistency. I like my hummus pretty smooth, so it may take a minute or more to achieve that. (If you don't have a food processor, soften the garbanzo beans and garlic by cooking them in water for a few minutes, then drain. Try mashing with a potato masher.) Makes a fantastic dip or sandwich spread. Feeds five hungry vegans.

ReplyDeleteHi, Everyone! Yes, I'm so glad to be back - just super busy with the fam and teaching the kids. Hopefully, I'll be more on track...
ReplyDeleteRose, I love garlic! I was a little worried there was too much garlic in here for the normal person, but the ladies I tested it on, said no way! And, yes, I'm going to make sure the kids and I have a blast this summer! Last year's was a hard one.

Hey, Wild Magnolia! I must have just missed you as I typed my comments above. Good morning and Happy Sunday to you too. This is an easy and tasty recipe.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so delicious! Especially for the summer.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! It is good. :-)
ReplyDeleteMmm, this looks and sounds delicious, Blessedmama! I absolutely LOVE hummus and make it often--it's so versatile, tasty and healthy. I'm also a garlic fan, so the more the better. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAside from the uses you mentioned, hummus is also great as a salad dressing, or stirred into soups or veggie stews for extra flavor and thickening. And one of my favorite ways of eating it is spooning great globs of hummus over a baked potato. Yum! :D
Thanks again for the lovely comment you left on my blog.
