And it is very easy to make. Here is my favorite recipe

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

1 Can chickpea/garbonza Beans (15oz)

1/3 cup tahini (See note below)

¼ cup lemon juice

2 Tbs olive oil

2 garlic cloves, crushed

½ - ¾ cup roasted red peppers

In a food processor, combine beans, tahini, lemon juice and olive oil. Process until smooth. Add red peppers and garlic until desired consistency.

Tahini is sesame seed butter. I find it with the Peanut Butter or in the international isle of the grocery store.

Enjoy!

Love hummus! My favorite is plain old roasted garlic, but I also enjoy the roasted red peppers, the edamama, the black bean......mmmm mmm mmm.

I wish there was a good way to add more protein to hummus. Maybe an unflavored protein? Worried that would ruin the taste and texture. Anyone have any ideas?

You can substitute roasted garlic for the Roasted Red Peppers to make roasted garlic hummus.I also have a tasty spicy black bean hummus recipe. Have to hunt that down & post it.

Happy New Year.

I've never have a problem getting my protein in for the day so I've not tried the unflavored protein. Be interested to see what people suggest.
