Place the roasted peppers in food processor.

2
Add the remaining ingredients (through black pepper) and process until blended and very fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl halfway through.

Scrape into a container, drizzle with a bit of olive oil and dust with paprika.

A few notes..hummus is traditionally made with garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas).
-
5
This recipe calls for two cans, and I only had one can on hand, which certainly wasnt going to stop me!
-
6
So I subbed in one can of white beans instead, and it is still delicious.
-
7
I still like the taste/texture of chickpeas, though.
-
8
I think if you used all white beans with no chickpeas involved, it might be a bit too runny.

As for the roasted red peppers, I used bottled...because I was feelin lazy and I only had one fresh red pepper on hand.

If you have fresh red peppers, you can certainly roast your own.
-
11
(Simply broil them about 4 inches from the heat until skins are blistered, rotating and turning until all sides are blackened.
-
12
Immediately place the peppers in a bowl, cover, and let stand for 15 minutes or so.
-
13
Then take the peel off and discard the blackened skin and remove stems and seeds.
