Hey look, look! I made hummus. 🙂 I was first introduced to hummus a couple of years ago by my husband’s aunt and uncle who, by the way, also fed me my first (and very delicious) turkey burger. They brought hummus on a boating trip along with veggies and pita chips. At first I was a teeny tiny bit skeptical… but that only lasted about 2.7 seconds because as soon as I tried a bite I was hooked. Pretty soon after that I tried out other flavors besides original like roasted garlic (SO good). If you’ve tried hummus and didn’t love it though, I must beg you to try once more – perhaps some hummus from a different brand because I’ve come to discover that not all commercial hummus makers were created equal and I like some much much better than others. Or…. you can make it at home in about 8 minutes. Traditional hummus calls for something called tahini, but I left it out of this recipe because to be 110% honest, I don’t keep tahini on hand and hummus would be the only thing I would use it for and when it’s all said and done… this hummus is absolutely amazing without it. Rather than traditional hummus though, this is roasted red pepper hummus. Oh-ma-gosh. SO AMAZING. If you have the time (and the dedication) to roast your own peppers, that would be awwwwwesome but if not (I totally understand, I really do) then use a jar of roasted red pepper – works perfectly and cuts out the extra wait time that would be standing between you and a mouthful of this creamy dippy goodness!
