Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 Oz. Can) Garbanzo Beans
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Peeled
  • 1/2 cups Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cups Tahini
  • 1/2 cups Roasted Red Peppers (a Few Big Pieces From A Jar)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1- 1/4 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/4 cups Fresh Basil Leaves (one Big Handful)
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Method

  • First wash the garbanzo beans in a colander, then add the peeled garlic and a few chickpeas and some oil to the food processor and blend to break up the garlic.
  • I find doing this first takes away the raw garlic bite as it gets more blended.
  • Then add the rest of the garbanzo beans, the olive oil, and the tahini and blend until quite smooth.
  • Chop up the peppers roughly and add those along with the cumin, paprika, and basil.
  • Blend again until these ingredients are incorporated, and salt and pepper to taste before doing a final blend.
  • You may need to add more or less olive oil depending how smooth you want the final hummus or how well your food processor works.
  • Hummus keeps well for at least a week stored in a sealed container in the fridge.
