Yield: About 2 1/2 cups

Fresh Red Pepper Hummus

Ingredients

  • 2 cups or 15 oz. can garbanzo beans
  • 2 tablespoons sesame tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin, ground
  • 1 fresh red bell pepper
  • 1/2 - 1 cup water
  • 6-8 sprigs cilantro leaves, fresh (rinsed)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the cilantro and set aside.
  2. Wash and cut the bell pepper. Discard the seeds and core.
  3. Rinse and drain the garbanzo beans.
  4. Blend all ingredients together, except the cilantro.
  5. Add water in the amount needed to obtain the desired thickness.
  6. Blend until smooth (about 1 minute)
  7. Taste and add more seasonings if desired.
  8. Add the cilantro leaves and blend briefly, just enough to chop them.
  9. Chill and serve.

Notes

Use this dip with pita bread, other bread or crackers. It is also good as a vegetable dip.
You can replace the tahini with 1/2 cup dry-roasted peanuts or raw cashews.

You may use fresh or prepared minced garlic. If you use whole garlic cloves, you don’t need to mince them since you are going to blend them.

1 teaspoon minced garlic = 2 garlic cloves.

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder = 2 medium garlic cloves.

Store in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh at least a week.
