Roasted Bell Pepper Hummus
( Click image for enlarged view ) Mediterranean food is a favourite at home nowdays, earlier I had posted homemade pita bread n falafel with tahini sauce, however no mediterranean cuisine is complete without hummus the classic dip which can be had with fresh carrots,celery,broccoli or fresh pita bread. Forget store bought hummus that's been sitting on the shelf for weeks. It's laden with preservatives which is very unhealthy too. There are many variation of hummus n using red bell pepper is my favourite. Adding roasted bell pepper gives it a nice smoky flavor. Here is the recipe Ingredients: 1.5 cups chickpeas (soaked overnight)1 red bell pepper1 tsp chopped garlic2 tbsp chopped onions2 tbsp tahini sauce1/4 tsp cumin seeds1/4 tsp paprika or 1/4 red chilli flakes3 tbsp chopped parsley2 tbsp olive oil10 olives Cooking Procedure: Pressure cook the chickpeas with cup water, after 1 whistle switch it off n let it cool. Roast the red bell pepper greased with oil on medium flame or in a oven for 15 min at 400 F. Peel the skin off n wash nicely if roasted on flame. Grind all the ingredients with chickpeas n bell pepper except olive oil to a smooth paste. Garnish with a topping of green olives n olive oil and serve with pita bread.
