I was reading Jeanne’s post on some very delicious looking Chickpea and Paprika Crostini over at Cooksister.com and after hopelessly failing the chickpea quiz decided I should stick to the preparation of them instead!!!
I love chickpeas and always keep a packet ready to use in my freezer. So combined with some leftover roasted red and yellow peppers I made this
Red Pepper and Chickpea Hummus…
I love Hummus as it is healthy, low GI, loaded with vitamins and good with so many things: on sandwiches as an alternative to butter or margarine, Dip – for vegetables and crisps, part of a Mezze platter, on pitas etc….
This is so easy to make and you could really add any amount of ingredients to suit your palate, tahini, chilli, sundried tomatoes, the list is endless!
2 cups chickpeas, soaked and boiled in some chicken stock
1 cup, roasted and marinated peppers
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 Tbs Olive Oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Put all the ingredients in a blender for a few minutes until smooth or in a bowl and blend with a hand blender.
Just noticed the “originally blogged here” links on your 24.com blog. I will definitely add this to my feed reader to catch things you might not cross post.
Your hummus looks yummy.
i wish you would come and cook for me…or teach me how to cook!!!!!!!!
