\"Roasted<\/p>\n

I have a confession\u2026before I made this recipe; I had never roasted a red pepper. I have a food blog, but I didn\u2019t know how to roast peppers. However, I was driven by the desire to make my favourite flavour of hummus from scratch (we usually buy it in a tub at Costco), so I did what anybody would do. I googled.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thank you world wide web. You are my teacher.<\/p>\n

Now I am extremely confident in my roasting pepper abilities. I\u2019m such a great success story.<\/p>\n

Ok\u2026now to the recipe.<\/p>\n

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. 1 can (398 milliliters) chick peas<\/li>\n
  2. 1 red pepper<\/li>\n
  3. 1 tablespoon lemon juice<\/li>\n
  4. 1\/4 cup tahini<\/li>\n
  5. 1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
  6. 1 clove garlic, pressed<\/li>\n
  7. 1 tablespoon sundried tomatoes<\/li>\n
  8. 1 teaspoon dried basil<\/li>\n
  9. Cayenne pepper, to taste<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    First things first\u2026roast the red pepper. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n

    Under broil setting, roast the red pepper at 400 degrees. Once the top of the pepper becomes black, keep rotating it until all the skin is slightly black.<\/p>\n

    Take out of the oven. Wrap the red pepper in aluminum foil for 10-15 minutes where it will continue to cook.<\/p>\n

    Scrape the black off the pepper and cut the stem and seeds out. (you may now congratulate yourself for roasting a pepper!)<\/em><\/p>\n

    Now combine the rest of the hummus ingredients and red pepper in your food processor until smooth. All done. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

    As you can see in the photos, I also use this as a delicious filling for Deviled Eggs (here’s the deviled egg recipe<\/a> on Fab Foods). It\u2019s a low calorie, low fat option if that\u2019s your thing. I like it because it\u2019s just so yummy! This is such a good idea for summer picnicking\u2026<\/p>\n

    I\u2019m so excited about June\u2026some special things are happening. My sister is going to come and visit for a couple weeks. We\u2019re also taking almost a month off of singing\/concerts, so I\u2019m excited for a little break\u2026and of course, I\u2019m really excited to spend more time (hopefully) playing outdoor volleyball. It\u2019s my favourite way to keep active.<\/p>\n

    \"Volleyball<\/p>\n

    (these are my new volleyball\/gym shoes my brother gifted me for my birthday \u2013 he\u2019s so sweet!)<\/em><\/p>\n
