Best Red Pepper And Artichoke Hummus Recipes

ARTICHOKE HUMMUS

Steps:

• Place everything into a food processor and blend until smooth. You may need to scrape it down a few times to make sure everything blends well. If you are worried about it blending, or using a blender, add the chickpeas in batches.
• Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the hummus isn't as smooth as you like, add additional yogurt or olive oil.

Steps:

• Rinse chick peas and place in saucepan with water to cover.

• Add chick peas, tahini, lemon juice, salt, cumin, olive oil, and tamari or soy sauce to food processor and mix to form a thick paste, blending for about 10 minutes total with all the taste testing and tweaking of taste (To thin consistency if desired, add more lemon juice, olive oil, or lemon juice/water combination).
• Season with cayenne pepper to desired spiciness.
• Transfer to lidded container and store in refrigerator for 12-24 hours to age.
• To serve, spread to ½ inch thickness on plate, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Hungarian paprika and cumin for color and to taste.
