Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas
  • 2 red bell peppers roasted
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • Juice from one large lemon
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Cook The Chickpeas

  • The night before, soak the chickpeas (3/4 cups dried will expand to 2 cups) in water and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Drain and rinse soaked chickpeas.
  • Add to the Instant Pot and add just enough water to cover the chickpeas (about 2 cups or so).
  • Cook for 45 minutes at high pressure in the Instant Pot.

Roast The Peppers

  • Cut peppers in half, remove seeds and tops. Cook at 450 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
  • While they are hot, put them into a bowl with a lid so they can steam.

  • Once cool, remove skins.

Make the Hummus

  • Add all of the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour into a bowl and top with a little drizzle of olive oil, fresh herbs (if desired), and a few more roasted peppers for color.

Notes

  • You can store excess roasted peppers in olive oil for several weeks in the fridge.
  • Easily make ahead 2-3 days in advance. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
