Ingredients
  

  • 1 ⅓ cups cooked chickpeas rinsed
  • ¾ cup roasted red peppers
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed (usually 1 medium lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon flax seed ground
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions
 

  • These instructions begin after you have cooked the chickpeas and roasted the red peppers. Alternately, use a can of chickpeas and jarred roasted red peppers.
  • CHOP the roasted red peppers, RINSE the chickpeas, PEEL AND MINCE the garlic, and JUICE one lemon to get 2 tablespoons of juice.
  • POUR the water, lemon juice, and olive oil in the Vitamix (or other blender or food processor) first.
  • SPRINKLE the salt, flax seed, smoked paprika, and garlic on top of the liquid.
  • SPOON in the tahini.
  • ADD the chickpeas and roasted red peppers on top.
  • BLEND on low speed for 10 seconds. Increase the speed to high for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the hummus is smooth and creamy.
  • SCRAPE the hummus out of the blender container.
  • CHILL hummus to blend the flavors before serving, if you have time. However, it is still tasty fresh from the blender.
  • SERVE with vegetables, pita bread, or tortilla chips.
