Introduction

Once I started making my own hummus I wondered why I ever used to spend so much money on the stuff at the store! This is easy, tasty, and lower in fat than what you buy prepared Once I started making my own hummus I wondered why I ever used to spend so much money on the stuff at the store!

Ingredients

    2 cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
    1/4 cup tahini
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 cup lemon juice (fresh is best)
    3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    1/4 tsp cumin seeds
    1 red pepper, roasted, peeled and seeded

Directions

Roast the red pepper under the broiler, turning until the skin is evenly blistered. Close it up in a brown lunch bag to loosen the skin. After 5 minutes or so the skin will come off easily. Peel, core and seed the pepper, and cut into strips.

While pepper is roasting, drain the chick peas, reserving 1/2 cup of the liquid. Rinse chick peas well, drain and add to the bowl of food processor. Add remaining ingredients, including red pepper. Process until smooth, adding reserved liquid if needed to get the desired texture. Refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving so flavors can meld.

Makes about 4 cups-- about 24 servings of 2 Tbsp .

    I am a huge fan of SPICY food, so I used 6 red chili peppers instead of 1 red bell pepper. It had tons of flavor and a lot of heat to it -- delicious! - 3/3/10

    Hummus is good when purchased pre-made but it tastes even fresher when homemade. Love this recipe. Have made it twice for parties. - 11/28/09

    This was delicious. I didn't have lemon so I used lime and it still came out wonderful. I love the addition of the cumin as well. - 2/7/09

    I couldn't wait for the flavors to meld, had to try it. Yum, yum. I've been meaning to start making my own hummus for awhile now, and I'm really glad I did. It only took five minutes, and it's so much cheaper than buying it. About 75% cheaper, WOW! - 1/7/09

    This is a great tasting hummus! It tastes just as good if not better than store bought hummus and it is definitely much healthier. I definitely will make this many times! - 3/25/08
