Spicy Pepper Hummus

Comment: I think this hummus recipe is restaurant quality. It is spicy and has a great pepper flavor. One of the main ingredients used to make hummus is tahini. Not all brands of tahini taste the same. We go through a restaurant owner online to get our tahini. It can only be purchased with a business licence and is brought in by a supplier from the middle east. Here is a link to the site where we order it from - Dedemed

Recipe for spicy roasted red pepper hummus
1 can garbanzo beans

3 Tbsp garbanzo bean juice (from can)
3 Tbsp Tahini
3 Tbsp lemon juice (I use lemon juice in a bottle)-
3 Tbsp plain yogurt
1/3 red bell pepper, roasted
1 Serrano pepper, roasted-1/2 tsp salt
1 small clove garlic

Roasting the peppers Broil each side of your red bell pepper for 5 minutes. The skin will look black or have black spots. Pull it out and with a fork scrap off the skin. Take out seeds. The Serrano pepper needs to be roasted to but it takes less time since its so small. 

Making the hummus - Blend all ingredients. Heat a pita in microwave for 30 seconds and use it to dip in the hummus.If you want to make the Garlic hummus version, just omit the peppers
