What is Hummus?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip that resembles a thick spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only in the Middle East, but hummus is also famous around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether it’s classic, jalapeno, beet, avocado, or red pepper hummus, it’s readily available in grocery stores across the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hummus recipe is traditionally made from chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon, and garlic. To give a yummy twist, I have added Roasted bell pepper to the hummus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients required<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Chickpeas: The main ingredient for all hummus recipes! I use cooked chickpeas for this recipe because it’s simple to make and gives a great taste. They’re also very easy to blend up as well. But you can use store-bought canned chickpeas. If using store-bought canned chickpeas, drain them off before using them.<\/li>
Lemon juice: It brightens up the whole dish and makes all other flavors pop. Make sure to use fresh lemon juice.<\/li>
Tahini: Don’t leave out the tahini. It gives the hummus recipe a bit more flavor. Use good quality tahini.<\/li>
Garlic Cloves: When making hummus at home, garlic is a must!<\/li>
Roasted red bell peppers: I Roast bell pepper at home, but you can easily buy these from the store in a jar. If using jarred variety, Make sure to drain them before adding them.<\/li>
Seasonings: Add in salt to help enhance the overall flavorings.<\/li>
Extra virgin Olive Oil: Adds to its rich and creamy texture. Good quality olive oil is essential because you can taste it in the dip.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Step-by-step process<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Roast the red bell pepper.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are roasting the bell pepper on an induction stove (Glass top) like me, place the little mesh grill first.<\/li>
Turn your stovetop flame from high to medium.<\/li>
Place pepper on the mesh grill. Let it roast for 15 minutes. Then, use a pair of tongs to give the pepper a quarter turn every 3 to 4 minutes.<\/li>
Once you have roasted your pepper, you will need to steam them. This process will help you peel the tough skin from them more easily.<\/li>
Place the roasted peppers in a bowl, then cover the bowl with a plate or lid.<\/li>
The bowl traps the steam inside. Steam for 10 minutes.<\/li>
Then remove the charred skin. You can leave a few small blackened bits on the skin if you want a more charred flavor.<\/li>
Then slice the pepper and remove the seeds. Finally, roughly chop the sliced pepper. Keep it aside.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Make Hummus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add the drained chickpeas, roasted red peppers, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, olive oil, and salt to the bowl of a food processor or blender.<\/li>
Blend until smooth and creamy making sure to scrape the sides in between. Add Some ice cubes if you find it hard to blend, and the hummus is too thick.<\/li>
Serve with chips, veggies, crackers, or pita bread.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
