Let’s hear it for the Hummus lovers!
This Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is super easy to make and is way better than the Hummus sold at the grocery stores! I made some of this for a holiday get together, and lets just say it was a total hit. 🙂
It’s hard to believe Christmas is only a day away. It seems like it was just Thanksgiving, I mean seriously – where does the time go?
So does everyone have their Christmas shopping done, or are you a last minute shopper that is scrambling in the malls on Christmas Eve Day looking for that perfect last minute gift?
I personally avoid the malls during the holidays. I don’t do well with big crowds of people, so I love to do my Christmas shopping online usually through Amazon.
For me there’s nothing better than sitting around my house in my PJs, sipping a hot cup of tea, and shopping online. Then a few days later having the packages show up at my door, it’s like having Santa deliver your online gifts. 🙂
Ok, so back to this Hummus recipe!
You will need some sort of a food processor to make this Hummus. I use a Cuisinart DLC-10S Pro Classic 7-Cup Food Processor. I did a lot of research before purchasing my food processor. I didn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars, but also didn’t want a cheapy model that would break after a few months. I checked out Amazon and this one got great reviews for the medium price range I wanted to stay in.
I absolutely love my food processor. It also makes chopping the vegetables for my Hummus a breeze. It chopped a whole cucumber in like 2 seconds!
So to make this, just simply Roast the Red Peppers in the oven. Then put everything in the food processor and pulse for around 30 seconds to a minute adding Olive Oil as you go to get the creamy consistency that you like.
That’s it, see – simple! 🙂
