Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Hummus - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained & rinsed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons tahini
1 red bell pepper, roasted
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 canned jalapeno slices
1 tablespoon jalapeno juice
3/8 cup lemon juice
1/8 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Preparation

Roast Red Pepper (I broil mine in the oven for about 20 minutes) and then seal in a large gallon sized zipper bag for an additional 15 minutes. Remove skin & seeds.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together black pepper, cayenne pepper, cumin, oregano and red pepper flakes.
Blend garbanzo beans, olive oil, tahini, jalapenos, garlic and all liquids in a food processor or high powered blender.
Add remaining ingredients, including the roasted red pepper and bowl of dry seasonings.
Blend until smooth and desired consistency.
Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir well before serving.
Serve with sliced red bell peppers, cauliflower, cucumbers, crackers and/or pita chips! Enjoy!
