Description

Recipe by: Chary Produce, Oakland

Ingredients

        1 can garbanzo beans (chick peas)

 

        1/3 cup tahini

 

        1/3 cup lemon juice

 

        1/2 cup roasted red peppers

 

        1/2 tsp dry basil or a few fresh basil leaves

 

        Garlic, to taste

 

      Salt & pepper

Methods/steps

To make the roasted red peppers: Red bell peppers work best
because their walls are the thickest. Wash the peppers and put the entire wet pepper on its side on a hot grill. As the skin blackens
& bubbles, turn them. When the whole pepper is black
(15-20 minutes), remove from the grill. Peel the blackened skin
while the pepper is warm. Remove stem & core and rinse.
To make the hummus, put all of the items into a food processor
and mix until smooth. Chill.
Serve with toasted baguette or baked pita triangles.
