I love to make hummus, just as a snack, and even as a quick and easy vegetarian snack-able dinner. We enjoyed this hummus with lots of fresh cut vegetables while watching the Oscars.
Yield: Serves 4
1 – 15 oz can garbanzo beans
2 – 3 tablespoons tahini paste
2 – 3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons roasted red peppers
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon sumac (optional)
olive oil
1. Combine garbanzo beans, tahini paste, lemon juice, roasted red peppers, cumin, paprika and sumac in a food processor. Turn processor on and stream or drizzle in olive oil until hummus has a smooth consistency.
2. Garnish with a a little more spice if desired. Serve with pita bread and vegetables.
