Roasted Red Pepper Cashew Hummus Recipe 455

ROASTED RED PEPPER & CASHEW HUMMUS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• PLACE the red pepper (skin side up) under a hot oven broiler (griller) for around 10 minutes or until the skin blackens all over. REMOVE and cover the charred peppers with a clean dish towel or plastic wrap for 5 minutes to allow the steam to loosen the skin from the pepper flesh. PEEL off the blackened skins and roughly cut the pepper flesh into pieces. PLACE the roasted pepper, cashews, and remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, scraping the sides occasionally. Tip: Although the taste of freshly roasted peppers is superior, to save time you can use jarred roasted red peppers instead.

ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (skip this part if using jarred roasted red peppers and jalapeno. see note below)
• Place the red bell pepper strips and jalapeno in a small baking dish or cast iron pan. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Bake in heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender and well-charred (check part-way and turn peppers over as needed.) Remove from oven and let cool. Drain from oil.
• In the large bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade, add the roasted bell peppers and jalapeno along with the chickpeas, garlic, tahini, sumac, smoked paprika, and lemon juice (do not add pine nuts yet.) Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil. Run the processor until you reach the desired creamy paste consistency. Test and adjust seasoning,if needed. Run the processor again to combine.
• Transfer to a serving bowl. Cover and chill.
• When ready to serve, top roasted red pepper hummus with a little more extra virgin olive oil and the toasted pine nuts. Add a pinch of paprika or sumac for garnish, if you like. Serve with warm pita bread and sliced veggies for dipping! Enjoy!

ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS

Steps:

• Set the red pepper over a gas burner on high and rotate with tongs until blackened on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pepper to a bowl, cover with a dish towel, and set aside to steam for a couple of minutes. Rub the pepper with paper towels to remove the skin¿don't worry if bits of skin remain; they'll lend some charred flavor. Stem and seed the pepper, and then roughly chop. (If using a jarred pepper, simply stem, seed and chop.)
• In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, basil, garlic, lemon juice and chili powder. Process until combined. With the motor running, drizzle in oil and then slowly add water (about 1/4 cup) until the desired consistency is reached; bear in mind that the hummus will thicken in the refrigerator. Season with salt and pepper, and chill before serving to let the flavors meld.
• Garnish the hummus with a basil sprig, and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with pita chips and crudites.
