Hummus Cures Everything, Especially Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Ingredients:

  • 1-16 oz can of garbanzo beans (I grew up calling them chi-chi beans)
  • 1/4 cup liquid from can of chi-chi beans
  • 3-5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste; I like it very lemony)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini (kinda expensive, but lasts a long time)
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed  (I didn’t have nearly enough on hand, so I supplemented with garlic powder)
  • 1 roasted red pepper  (you can make them yourself, but I buy mine at BJ’s)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt  (Kosher rocks)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil  (none of that EVOO Rachael Ray crap necessary)

Combine everything in the food processor (which for us is also the place where Michael makes salsa magic happen) until thoroughly mixed and smooth.   And enjoy!

PS– the hummus can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days.  It never makes it past the second day in our house.

PPS– Remember this, “Beans, beans good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you fart.  The more you fart, the better you feel. Let’s eat beans at every meal.”

PPPS– If you wanna kick it up a notch add a chili pepper or some cayenne powder.

PPPPS– Serve with pita bread, pretzel chips, tortilla chips, or eat it with a spoon; you decide.

    YUM!

    I’ve never even considered making my own hummus, but it looks pretty easy. Tho I would have to substitute the red pepper with GARLIC and lots of it.

    Thanks for sharing!

      I usually have way more garlic on hand. My favorite is chopping it and smelling the garlic on my hands all day long!
