Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas
  • 2 large roasted red peppers
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumi
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • 2-3 tbsp ice water

Method
 

  1. Prepare the roasted peppers by charring them over a gas flame or under the broiler until the skin turns black. Cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes to steam and peel off the skins.
  2. If desired, peel the chickpeas for a smoother texture. Place tahini and lemon juice in a food processor and blend for about 1 minute until creamy.
  3. Add minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt to the processor and blend for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the prepared roasted peppers and blend until fully integrated. Finally, add the chickpeas and process for 3-5 minutes, drizzling in olive oil and ice water until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  5. Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice as needed, then pulse one final time before serving.
