    • ¼ cup lemon juice
      juice from one large lemon

      (just a pinch- optional)
    • Salt
      to taste

    Instructions

    • Place roasted red peppers, chick peas, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cumin, cayenne and salt to taste and blend until smooth. If you find your hummus is too dry you can add an additional 2 tablespoons of water or olive oil to loosen it up.
    • Place your red pepper hummus in a flat bowl and make a well with the back of your spoon. Drizzle olive oil over the red pepper hummus.
    • Enjoy!

    Notes

    You will need to scrape down the sides of your food processor a few times during the process. You may need to add either a couple of tablespoons of water or olive oil to get it moving in the food processor.

      Ah, yet again we are all different ! I rarely snack but regularly eat a fair few open sandwiches and wraps . . . but rarely use bitter. Long ago began using hummus as one base to such before loading on all the other 'desirables'. Sometimes buy but usually make mu own - love your version and shall copy especially since Middle Eastern flavours always thrill . . .

        Hi there Eha! Thank you Middle Eastern Flavors are always a big hit in our family. Hummus is fantastic as a base on a sandwich or wrap. We love grilling vegetables and then in a wrap with a but of red pepper hummus and we are good to go.
