Method

  • step 1

    Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then tip them into a food processor. Peel the garlic and crush in with the chickpeas, along with plenty of salt and pepper. Whizz briefly.

  • step 2

    Remove any stray seeds from the peppers, then add them to the processor with the lemon juice, olive oil and chilli. Blitz again until really smooth. Taste and add extra seasoning and chilli for more of a kick, if you like.

  • step 3

    Spoon into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and serve with celery sticks, radishes and a stack of breadsticks for dipping.

Its not Hummus unless it has tahini in it!

Have to agree with hezzie88 - used my own roasted peppers, but hummus lacked depth of flavour so added some more garlic, tahini and a touch of cayenne. Tahini is a good call, and this is quite a light tasting hummus.

Not sure what the other reviewers mean when they say its 5 stars and tasty. I love houmous, have tried most store bought flavours and been trying out a few recipes and love almost all. This one I found to be inedible - I was so disappointed but at least it was quick and not messy so didn't waste…

I added sesame oil and was maybe a bit to enthusiastic with it because it overpowered the peppers a bit. However I think the peppers in general also added less flavor than I expected. It is a very nice humous though only quite subtle. I found it was also a bit more wet than when I make regular…

I only used one pepper which I roasted with garlic, chilli and basil inside. Even without a blender, it came out pretty good but I added an extra garlic at the last min to give the flavour a boost.
