Food: Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

October 1, 2012
Seriously, last night I made up one of the tastiest dinners we've had in some time. Like mouth-watering tasty. I couldn't get enough of this good stuff in my belly fast enough. In my head it seemed like it would taste good. And it did. I made roasted red pepper hummus open-faced sandwiches. And we polished them off in a matter of minutes. Here's how to make them in under 15 minutes.

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

  • 1 15 oz. can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
  • 1/4 c. tahini sauce
  • 1/4 c. olive oil
  • 1 t. minced garlic (or 1-2 cloves of garlic)
  • 1/2 bunch flat parsley
  • 1 roasted red pepper
  • 1/2 t. mrs. dash chipotle seasoning
  • salt & pepper, to taste
Heat up a pan super hot (I used the panini press). Flay your red pepper(s) and blacken. Drop all of the above ingredients into a food processor. Blend until smooth. Makes about 2 1/2 cups of hummus. For the tasty sandwiches above, heat up a panini press and grill shredded parmesan onto bread. Top the cheese bread with hummus, avocado and roasted chicken. You'll want to make one of these babies asap. Trust me.
