Hummus with Roasted Pepper

Hummus is considered a very healthy dish. In addition to chickpeas, it contains garlic, olive oil, and tahini or sesame paste, which is an excellent source of quality proteins, calcium, lecithin, and B vitamins that play an important role in the bodys functioning. If we add the excellent taste to this, we get a dish that can completely captivate you. And since hummus can be enhanced with numerous additions, this time we decided to go with roasted pepper. The result is a divine spread that you will enjoy spreading on bread!

Ingredients

2 piece Bell pepper, red, fresh
250 g Chickpea, cooked
50 ml Juice, lemon
60 ml Sesame butter, tahini
pieces Garlic, fresh
2 spoons Oil, olive
pieces Salt, table

Steps

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Wash the peppers, cut them in half lengthwise, and clean them. Place the halves on a baking tray (cut side down) and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. When they "blacken," remove them from the oven and let them cool.
Once the peppers have cooled enough to handle, remove the blackened skin. Combine the peeled peppers with chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, and peeled garlic in a food processor. Season with pepper and salt, and optionally add a bit of cumin, then blend everything until smooth. If the spread is too thick, add a few tablespoons of cold water or a bit more olive oil. Transfer the hummus to a suitably sized serving bowl and chill it well before serving.
Decorate the spread as desired with chopped pepper (fresh or roasted), chopped parsley (or cilantro), and drizzle a bit of olive oil on top. Serve with sliced bread and/or crackers.
