Sweet Red Pepper and Kalamata Olive Hummus
This tasty twist on traditional hummus is definitely a crowd pleaser…
INGREDIENTS
- 1 can chickpeas (save the water from the can)
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 1 tsp lemon juice (if you don’t have this on hand, it’s ok without it, too)
- 4 Peppadews – they’re small, sweet red peppers (I usually find these in the ‘Olive Bar’ section of the market)
- 1/3 cup of Kalamata olives (green and purple)
- 1 tsp roasted garlic
HOW TO MAKE IT
- Combine the strained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, peppers, olives and garlic in a food processor
- Pour in a little bit of the water from the can of chickpeas and process the ingredients
- Check the consistency of the hummus and add more of the water if the mixture is not loose and smooth
- Process until you have reached your desired consistency (should be soft and smooth, not watery but not thick)
- Serve with veggies and pita chips
