what you need
- 1 can (16 ounce) chickpeas
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2-3 cloves garlic, pressed or crushed
- 1/2 cup roasted red pepper
- Fresh ground pepper
make it
Drain & rinse chickpeas/garbanzos, reserving liquid. In small bowl, combine cumin, coriander, cayenne (use less if you don't want it very spicy, but we like it with 1/2 tsp), & salt, mixing thoroughly.
Put garbanzo beans/chick peas in bowl of food processor with chopping blade, & sprinkle the spice mixture over the top evenly. Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, & roasted red peppers, and blend until well mixed. Add the fresh ground pepper.
Once the hummus gets smooth, add some of the reserved liquid from the chick peas/garbanzos while it is being processed, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Notes
The end-liquid isn't necessary normally.
