Red Pepper Hummus

I threw this together for a small lunch party.  I didn't measure the ingredients exactly.  This hummus was especially good in a toasted pita with extra red peppers.  The Vlasic pickled roasted red peppers I bought are good, but do list sugar as an ingredient (white sugar is often processed through animal bone.)  So maybe next time I'd choose something different.

Ingredients:
  • about 3 cups cooked or canned chickpeas
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • about 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • juice and zest of one lemon
  • a few Tbsp. olive oil
  • fresh parsley
Puree all ingredients (except parsley) in a blender, adding more chickpeas or liquid to get the consistency you want.  I stirred in chopped parsley at the end.  Serve with crackers, pita bread, or veggies.
