Ingredients:
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 roasted red pepper, chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Serving:
This recipe makes about 2 cups of hummus, which is enough to serve 8-10 people as an appetizer. Serve with pita chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Cooking Tips:
- To roast the red pepper, place it on a baking sheet and broil for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered. Let cool, then remove the skin and chop the pepper.
- For a smoother hummus, remove the skins from the chickpeas before blending.
- If the hummus is too thick, add a little water or more olive oil to thin it out.
Cooking Process:
1. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, roasted red pepper, feta cheese, garlic, tahini, and lemon juice. Pulse until smooth.
2. With the food processor running, slowly pour in the olive oil until the hummus is creamy and well combined.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with additional feta cheese and chopped roasted red pepper, if desired.
