Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups Chick Peas Cooked
  • 1.5 TBSP Tahini
  • 1/2 tsp Curry Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper
  • 3/4 tsp salt or more to taste
  • 2 TBSP freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 large garlic cloves minced

Instructions
 

  • 1. If you are using fresh chick peas, soak 1 cup dry peas in water for 24-36 hours, than cook them for 45-60 minutes or until the beans are completely mushy. Drain any remaining liquid & set aside for later use. If using canned beans, reserve the liquid for later use.
  • 2. While peas are cooking put oven temperature on low broil, slice red pepper, remove all seeds, drizzle with EVOO & place in oven. Roast the red pepper till skin is charred & than peel off the skin.
  • 3. Once peas are cooked, put into a high speed blender such as a vitamix, blend on high unit peas are creamy. Than add tahini, red pepper, salt, curry powder, lemon juice & minced garlic, blend well. If the hummus is to thick, add some of the remaining chick pea liquid or drizzle in some EVOO.
