Roasted Red Pepper and Garlic Hummus
Author:
Serves: 2-4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 can(15 oz) OR box (13.4 oz) of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 roasted garlic cloves
  • ½ cup roasted red peppers, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoon lime juice
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • Garnishes (optional)
  • roasted red pepper, finely chopped
  • cilantro, chopped
Instructions
  1. You will need 3 roasted garlic cloves. If you don't have roasted garlic cloves in reserve and need to roast a head of garlic, refer to this recipe on how to roast garlic.
  2. To a Vitamix (or food processor), add garbanzo beans, garlic cloves, lime juice, olive oil and salt. Blend (or pulse) on low until ingredients are coarsely ground. Scrape down sides, add in peppers and slowly blend (or pulse) until ingredients are blended.
  3. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender as you go, and if ingredients are too dry, you may want to drizzle a little more olive oil OR water to create desired hummus consistency. Add more salt, if needed.
  4. The key is to blend slowly, stopping to scrape as you go.
  5. Serve in bowl and (optional) garnish with finely chopped roasted peppers and cilantro on top.
