How to prepare Red Pepper Hummus

To prepare the red pepper hummus, let's start with the peppers. Wash them, dry them, and place them with the whole garlic cloves 1 on a baking sheet lined with wet and wrung-out parchment paper; transfer them to a preheated oven at 400°F for 30 minutes 2 and let them roast on all sides until the skin begins to peel away 3.

Transfer the cooked peppers to a bowl 4, cover them with plastic wrap 5, and let them cool; this will make them easier to peel 6.

Now that the peppers have cooled, peel them 7 and remove the inner filaments and seeds 8. Cut them into strips 9.

and let them drain in a colander 10. Also peel the roasted garlic cloves 11 and after a few minutes, pour into the mixer glass the peppers, drained and rinsed chickpeas 12,

the garlic cloves 13, tahini 14, lemon juice 15,

salt, pepper, a drizzle of oil 16, and paprika 17, and now blend until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous sauce 18.

Transfer the sauce to a bowl 19, sprinkle it with chopped parsley 20, a drizzle of oil, and a dusting of paprika 21.

Quickly toast slices of bread, either in a pan or in the oven, and rub them with a garlic clove 22, then season with oil, salt, and ground chili pepper 23. Ready to accompany your red pepper hummus 34.

Storage

You can store the red pepper hummus in the refrigerator, well-covered, for 2-3 days.

It would be better not to freeze it.

Tip

Enhance the aroma of your red pepper hummus with mint leaves. Instead of pre-cooked chickpeas, you can use dried ones: soak them for 12 hours, use 4.5 oz, and boil them until tender but not overcooked. Tahini is a sesame seed paste, you can make it yourself by following the traditional Hummus guide if you can't find it.
