Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas See note 1
  • 1 can white beans
  • 1 large roasted red pepper from a jar See note 2
  • 4 tablespoons tahini paste
  • juice of ½ lemon more to taste
  • 2 small garlic cloves
  • ¼ – ½ teaspoon red chili flakes to taste
  • fine sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • roasted chickpeas optional
  • chopped parsley or coriander optional

Instructions

  • Drain the chickpeas and the white beans. Place in a food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients and process until the hummus is smooth and creamy.
  • Stop the food processor once or twice in between and scrape down the sides of the bowl, until the hummus is smooth. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of cold water if the hummus seems too thick, I usually don't have to, the roasted red pepper is pretty juicy.
  • Adjust the taste with salt, pepper, chili, and maybe more lemon juice.
  • Garnish with roasted chickpeas, parsley, or coriander, if desired.
