Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is a dip or spread made with cooked and mashed chickpeas, roasted red pepper, garlic, cumin seeds, lemon juice and Tahini. It’s a popular Middle East and Mediterranean dish but is famous internationally.
Roasted red pepper adds a lot more flavour to the hummus. The color is really inviting. The red pepper can be roasted in the oven, grill or stove top. I just simply roasted it on the stove top which is a time saver yet we get the smoky flavour. Canned chickpeas can be used to speed up the process. Taste in using canned chickpeas and soaking/cooking chickpeas is really negligible.
