Ingredients

2 large sweet red pepper
2 cans (15 ounces each) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained

Peel off and discard charred skin. Remove stems and seeds. Place the peppers in a food processor. Add the beans, lemon juice, tahini, oil, garlic and seasonings; cover and process until blended.
Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve with pita bread and crackers. Garnish with additional beans if desired. Yield: 3 cups.

Love this hummus! I cannot get the texture perfect but everyone has loved it!

I made this with Yellow Bell Peppers and halved the recipe. I was in a hurry, and so left out the cumin and coriander. They were in the back of the cabinet, and I was pressed for time. I also seeded and cut the pepper in half before placing it cut side down on a baking sheet instead of leaving it whole, and only broiled it until it was partially blackened, the center top of each half, and then peeled them. I suppose it's only a relative of the original recipe, but it's tasty all the same. It's definitely delicious on a cheddar cheese sandwich.

I bought a jar of roasted red peppers, to me it was a lot easier then fussing with roasting fresh. I added tamari, curry and carmalized onions and garlic, it was a huge hit :-)

I made this for a party, and it was very well received. The recipe makes a large batch. I'll probably only make a half batch in the future.

Excellent! Love the flavors. I used bagged garbanzo beans that I soaked and boiled.

My kids love it and will definitely make again, and again...

I can never understand why people don't try the recipe before they decide to change it. Perfect just the way it is! I have changed recipes, but always try them first.
