2 whole Sweet Red Peppers, Roasted(jarred Or Roast Your Own)
2 cans (15oz) Chickpeas, Rinsed And Drained Well(alternatively, Use One Can Of Chickpeas, One Can Of White Beans Such As Great Northern Or Cannellinni)
⅓ cups Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
3 Tablespoons Tahini(sesame Seed Paste)
1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 cloves Garlic, Peeled
1- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Red Curry Powder
1/2 teaspoons Cumin
1/2 teaspoons Ground Coriander
1/2 teaspoons Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
Optional Garnishes: Olive Oil And Paprika

1
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.
3
Scrape into a container, drizzle with a bit of olive oil and dust with paprika.
4
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.
9
As for the roasted red peppers, I used bottled...because I was feelin lazy and I only had one fresh red pepper on hand.
10
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.
14
And you are ready to go!)
