Number Of Ingredients 10

3-4 cloves garlic
3 cups (or 2 15-ounce cans) cooked chickpeas
cooking liquid from the beans (or water)
juice of 1/2-1 lemon
2 tablespoons tahini
1/2 tsp. cumin
Harrisa, or other hot pepper sauce, to taste*
chipotle chili powder (optional)
salt (to taste)
10 ounce jar of roasted red peppers

Steps:

  • Throw the garlic into a running food processor. Add the chickpeas and begin processing. Add the lemon juice and tahini. (I used half of a very large yet mild homegrown lemon. For regular lemons, I'd start with half, check the flavor, and add more if needed.) If needed, add 1/4 cup bean cooking liquid or water, just enough so that the chickpeas become a smooth paste. Add the cumin, the harrisa, chipotle powder, salt, and half of the roasted red peppers. Process until smooth. Taste for spiciness and add more harrisa as needed. Add the remaining roasted red peppers and pulse to coarsely chop. Enjoy as a dip or sandwich filling!
