Roasted Red Pepper Hummus with quick flatbread

Two hummus recipes in a row but that’s how it goes. One was so good I had to make one more but this time I had roasted peppers and added them to the mix. I also made a different flatbread, a very simple one with no yeast so it does not require rising time. I added a teaspoon of baking powder to lighten it up. It’s not vegan though, as I use yogurt instead of water for a bit of tangy notes.

Bragging rights: I made the platter in the image myself at a pottery class at Blue Apple Studio under the tutelage of artist par excellence Shelley Bauer.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chickpeas, home cooked or canned

  • 1/3 cup tahini paste

  • 1 red pepper, roasted, peeled, seeds removed

  • 1 garlic clove

  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt

  • 1/3 cup water, as needed

Directions

  • Place chickpeas in the blender.
  • Add tahini paste, lemon juice, salt and garlic.
  • Add roasted pepper
  • Add the water and begin blending, adding only as much water as needed to create a smooth paste. The red pepper adds moisture and the Vitamix works miracles with the texture.
  • Spoon the hummus onto a plate and swirl it around with the back of the spoon creating a ridge on the outside to contain the oil.
  • Drizzle the center with olive oil, sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and chopped cilantro or parsley.
  • Serve with flatbread.
