ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS WITH PINE NUTS



Roasted Red Pepper Hummus With Pine Nuts image

I tend to make most things with less olive oil than the original recipe calls for, and this hummus is no exception. My hummus is a bit thicker than the hummus you might find in a Mediterranean restaurant, but I've found that the addition of a freshly roasted red bell pepper and as much of the "juice" as you can preserve from the roasting process goes a long way in recreating some of the creaminess of a hummus dripping with olive oil, and with far fewer calories.

Provided by Lizzymommy

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 -2 roasted red pepper (from a jar if you must, but roasting them yourself is easy and oh so delicious!)
3 1/2 cups garbanzo beans
1/4 cup tahini
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
12 -15 garlic cloves (as much or as little as you'd like*)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon dried coriander
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
crushed red pepper flakes
1 pinch cayenne
1/4-1/2 cup toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • Note: *I use anywhere from 12-15 cloves, but your mileage may vary. It's also good to keep in mind that raw garlic takes a while to fully flavor a dish, so be careful of relying too much on that first taste. You just might end up adding more garlic when you don't actually need it (ha, as if there was such a thing!). When I make my hummus and serve it on the same day, I usually back off on the fresh garlic and increase the garlic powder, which gives more of an immediate flavor.
  • If you're roasting your own peppers, throw them in the broiler now. Broil peppers until they're burnt to a crisp. Use tongs to place pepper in sealed plastic container and steam for 5-10 minutes (the longer you wait, the easier it will be to get that skin off). Carefully peel away blackened skin, then remove stem and seeds while preserving as much of the liquid inside the pepper as you can.
  • Toast pine nuts in a hot, dry saucepan. These two things (broiling peppers and toasting pine nuts) can both be done while you're combining the rest of the ingredients, but be sure to keep an eye on the pine nuts, as they go from raw to perfectly toasted to burnt to a crisp in a matter of seconds.
  • Combine garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, cumin, coriander, paprika, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, and cayenne in food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Add roasted, peeled peppers** and as much of their liquid as you managed to save to food processor and blend into garbanzo bean mixture.
  • Slowly drizzle olive oil into mixture until you get the consistency you're looking for.
  • Taste the hummus. At this point, it usually needs another squirt of lemon juice and a half pinch of salt to really solidify the flavor.
  • Garnish with paprika and toasted pine nuts and serve with vegetables, crackers, baguette slices, or pita
  • (serving size is approximately 1/3 c).

JALAPENO & ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS



Jalapeno & Roasted Red Pepper Hummus image

Another nice hummus recipe that makes use of my garden's peppers by way of The Wichita Eagle who got it from the North American Olive Oil Association. This one is a little lighter on the lemon & tahini - adjust to your taste of course. Use a potato masher to crush the garbanzos if you do not have food processor or blender - did it that way myself for years & now I prefer a chunkier hummus to the ultra-smooth, go figure. Serve with baked pita bread or pita chips or stuff into tomatoes (big cherries piped with smooth spicy hummus are great heavy hors d'oeuvres).

ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS (TAHINI-FREE)



Roasted Red Pepper Hummus (Tahini-Free) image

I love hummus - but I hate paying for it at the store because I know how cheap the actual ingredients are, so I started to make it myself! I never have tahini on hand, so I do without. Makes the perfect snack at work along with some carrots, sugar snap peas, and cucumbers! I never measure the spices, so below are approximations. **You can also use dried/cooked chickpeas instead of canned.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans)

1/2 teaspoon cumin (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (or more to taste)
salt

Steps:

  • Drain both cans of chick peas, reserving the liquid from one of the cans.
  • Add both cans of beans to food processor along with 1-2 cloves of peeled garlic (no need to chop, the food processor will take care of that!), about half a jar of roasted red peppers in water (also add a bit of the liquid if you'd like to boost the pepper flavor), juice from 1/2 lemon, cumin, chili powder, and some salt.
  • Drizzle in olive oil (I usually use do one turn of the food processor, approximately 1 TBSP).
  • Blend for about 30 seconds. Add some of the chickpea liquid if needed to get the right consistency.
  • Continue to blend until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides and adding more liquid as needed.

1 tablespoon paprika

  • Allow the peppers to rest for 10 minutes in the bag, this will loosen their skins. Remove the peppers from the bag and while holding them under cool running water, peel away the black skins and remove the stems and seeds; all that should remain is the flesh of the roast peppers.
  • Combine the roast peppers, chickpeas and garlic in a food processor and puree until smooth. Add the tahini, lemon, paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt and cayenne pepper; puree another minute until the mixture is very smooth.

ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS



Roasted Red Pepper Hummus image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 10h50m

Yield 4 ounces

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup dried garbanzo beans (chickpeas) or two 15-ounce cans
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 red bell pepper
1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for serving
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons tahini
2 3/4 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Feta cheese (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • If using dried beans, soak them overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Drain, rinse and place in a large saucepan and cover with 2 quarts water. Add the baking soda and bring to a boil. Cook until the beans are firm but tender, about 1 hour. (Garbanzo beans can be tricky and can require as much as 2 hours to cook so keep testing them. You want the beans tender but not mushy).
  • Drain and cover with cool water. Agitate the beans to remove as many of the skins as possible. They will separate and float to the surface and can be removed with a small strainer (this will make the texture of your hummus nice and smooth).
  • Drain the beans and allow them to cool completely.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Coat the red pepper with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake until the outside is charred, 30 to 40 minutes. Alternatively grill the pepper until it is charred and soft.
  • Place the pepper in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and allow the skin to steam off, about 15 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
  • Once the pepper has cooled, remove the skin, stem and seeds and coarsely chop.
  • Place the roasted red pepper, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, cumin, black pepper, 3 cups of garbanzo beans and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a food processor and process until creamy, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • To serve, drizzle with olive oil and top with the crumbled feta cheese if using.

This recipe receives rants and raves from everyone who tries it, hummus lovers and new initiates alike. Full of flavor, rich in taste and a carefully crafted roller coaster of spices, this is probably one of the best versions of the popular hummus recipe you will ever try!

Provided by Chris Hoekstra

Categories     Spreads

Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed
1 large red pepper
1 garlic clove, finely diced
1 cup Italian parsley (large flat leaves)
2 medium green onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
6 tablespoons tahini
3 whole lemons, juiced
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
1/2-1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon tamari or 1 tablespoon soy sauce, to taste
2 teaspoons cumin, to taste
1/2 cup olive oil
1 dash cayenne pepper, to taste
Hungarian paprika

Steps:

  • Rinse chick peas and place in saucepan with water to cover.
  • Bring to boil and simmer for 30-60 minutes to further soften, adding more water when necessary (This step really makes a big difference: Without cooking, you get more of a gritty store bought consistency; WITH cooking, you get a true authentic creamy consistency).
  • Drain in strainer and set aside.
  • Slice red pepper in half and take out seeds.
  • Roast halves under broiler or on grill until skin is blackened (approximately 3-5 minutes).
  • Place red pepper, garlic, parsley, onions, and rosemary in food processor and mince very finely.
  • 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.
  • Serve with sliced, toasted pita, sliced baguette, or vegetables.

2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans
3 tablespoons tahini paste (well mixed)
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce (canned)
1 chipotle pepper (canned)
2 roasted red peppers, seeded & skinned
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • *Rinse and Drain Garbanzo Beans. Rub skins off beans with fingers and discard. This is very tedious, and you do not HAVE to do it, but I found that it helps in making my hummus very smooth and creamy.
  • *Place Garbanzo Beans in salted water, in a pot over high heat. Bring to a boil for 10-15 minutes. Drain and place in Food Processor. Cool for 15 minutes.
  • *Add remaining ingredients and blend until very smooth.
  • *If the mixture is dry, add a bit more water to smooth out.
  • *Serve the Hummus with soft Pita Bread or Pita Chips. I LOVE it when still warm, but it will last for several days in the refrigerator.
  • *This is a great make-ahead party pleaser.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained, but reserve the liquid
1/2 cup roasted red peppers
1/3 cup tahini
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about one large lemon)
2 medium garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
2 tablespoons diced roasted red peppers
1/4 cup chickpeas
2 tablespoons chopped kalamata olives
A few fresh basil leaves (diced)
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
A drizzle of good olive oil

Steps:

  • Add the chickpeas (not the liquid), roasted red peppers, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt to the pitcher of a high-powered blender or food processor fitted with the "S" blade.
  • Blend, adding the chickpea liquid about 2 tablespoons at a time to get and keep things moving, until the mixture is silky smooth.
  • Taste and add additional salt if desired.
  • Scoop into serving bowl and add toppers. Serve with pita wedges and/or fresh veggies (I love this one with sliced cucumbers).

Tips:

  • Selecting ripe and vibrant red bell peppers is essential for a rich and flavorful hummus. Look for firm and brightly colored peppers. Roast the peppers until their skin is slightly charred and blistered, as this process enhances their sweetness and smoky flavor.
  • Use high-quality tahini, preferably made from freshly ground sesame seeds, for a smooth and creamy texture. Opt for extra virgin olive oil to add a fruity and robust flavor to the hummus.
  • Soaking the chickpeas overnight or for at least 8 hours not only reduces cooking time but also makes them more digestible. If using canned chickpeas, rinse them thoroughly to remove any excess starch or salt.
  • Add a touch of cumin, paprika, and garlic powder to enhance the hummus's flavor profile. Adjust the seasonings to your preference, and don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices.
  • For a smoother hummus, peel the chickpeas before blending. This step is optional but can create an incredibly velvety texture.
  • Use a food processor or high-powered blender to achieve a smooth and creamy hummus. Process the ingredients in batches if necessary to ensure thorough blending.
  • Serve the hummus immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with paprika, chopped parsley, or a sprinkle of sumac before serving.

Conclusion:

With its vibrant color, smoky flavor, and creamy texture, roasted red pepper hummus is a culinary delight that is both versatile and delicious. It serves as a perfect dip for fresh vegetables, crackers, or pita bread. Spread it on sandwiches, wraps, or use it as a flavorful addition to platters. The roasted red pepper hummus is not only a crowd-pleaser but also a nutritious snack or appetizer. Its combination of chickpeas, tahini, and roasted red peppers provides a rich source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Experiment with different toppings and garnishes to create your own unique version of this classic Middle Eastern dip.
