Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

I fell in love with hummus the first time I tried it a few years ago, but I've always made the traditional version until I try a store-bought roasted red pepper hummus and it tastes even better! Unfortunately, the store-bought hummus had white sugar, refined sunflower oil and other nasty ingredients, so I prefer to make this homemade hummus and it tastes even better.

I eat hummus as an appetizer with some crudités (I love carrots!) or with homemade tortilla chips, salad dressing or as a side dish, but my favorite way to enjoy this delicious dish is spreading the hummus over a baked pizza crust and I also add chopped tomatoes, sweet paprika, extra virgin olive oil and some olives, it tastes really awesome!

Tips:

• I prefer to cook raw chickpeas, but canned chickpeas are okay, although try to avoid nasty ingredients.
• Feel free to use store-bought roasted red peppers if you're too busy.
• Roasted tahini also works and it tastes better, but raw tahini is more nutritious.
• You can see the roasted red peppers and the hummus texture in the food processor in the picture below.
