Ode to Yummus Hummus!

Oh heavenly hummus,you are delicious.
Dipped with vegetables or chips, you are Divine.
When presented at parties, some may be suspicious.
But that's okay, then you are all mine!


Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

1 red pepper, seeded
2-3 cups garbanzo beans
1 clove garlic
1/2 onion
2-3 Tbsp tahini
juice from 2-3 lemons
1/2 Tbsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste
approximately 3 Tbsp olive oil (for a fat free version, substitute with broth)

Rub pepper, garlic and onion with olive oil and roast in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Throw ingredients in the food processor and blend to desired consistency. Be sure to add the olive oil slowly so you don't end up with soupy hummus!
