Take-in Thursday ~ 5-minute Homemade Hummus

Hi Everyone,

This week, Drew and I were craving hummus so we decided to make our own and of course, this happened exactly 10 minutes before we had to head out of the house. We threw some ingredients and spices into the food processor and in less than 5 minutes, we had a yummy batch of hummus! This inspired us to keep experimenting all week with different recipes to see what combinations work. We hope you enjoy our recipe and feel free to change it up to your liking and add in whatever spices and flavors you like.


Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Ingredients:
4 cloves are garlic
2 Tbs olive oil, for garlic
15-oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 roasted red peppers, jarred and drained
2 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp black pepper, coarsely ground
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp hot sauce
dash of salt

Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a saute pan and add peeled garlic cloves cooking until browned.
2. In a food processor, add the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, olive oil and the spices. Add in the roasted garlic with any of the olive oil that is left in the pan.
3. Puree the ingredients until a smooth consistency is formed.
4. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.

Have a great time experimenting on your own and try some fun, different recipes! We would love for you to share any recipes you come up with :)

Get Fit For It,
D & K
