Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Author Notes: This is just a basic hummus recipe, one that we make a lot around my house. My son likes it a lot better than hummus made without peppers. I don't generally measure, just dump everything in and taste so the ingredients are all approximate. - cauner - cauner
Food52 Review: Cauner's recipe is pretty liberal in terms of measurements, so I felt free to adjust it to my tastes, but only after I made it to the letter first. There was very little tweaking, the measurements were pretty spot on, just a bit more here and there was all it took. Next time I make this, I might add one more roasted pepper to the mix because it lent a wonderful hint of a sweet and creamy flavor that I thought was just perfect. This is precisely what I like about this recipe, it can be tweaked to suit your preference—so big thumbs up for this one! - TiggyBee - A&M

Wow!! The spice blend in this hummus recipe was incredible. I've been searching for years for a go-to hummus recipe and I think I"ve found it. I didn't include the red pepper as I didn't have any on hand, and added about 3-4 tbsp of chickpea water from the can. I used table salt instead of kosher. Both my wife and me are overly impressed. Thank you!!

I discovered your recipe over this past weekend and the hummus turned out fantastic without any deviations! The flavors really melded together and the heat/spicy level kicked up a bit after a few hours in the fridge. It was the perfect dip for some raw veggies - awesome with cauliflower. Thank you!

I'm glad you both like it! I just picked up some red peppers on sale at the store, I think I'll make some up soon too. I like it because it's all spiced to taste, yet you really can't mess it up!

I have this posted to my fridge instead of in my recipe books, because I use it so much and my beau requests it so much! Thanks for posting.
