Spicy Sweet Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
 

1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained 1 (4 ounce) jar roasted red peppers 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS:  

1. In an electric blender or food processor, puree the chickpeas, red peppers, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and salt. Process, using long pulses, until the mixture is fairly smooth, and slightly fluffy. Make sure to scrape the mixture off the sides of the food processor or blender in between pulses. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (The hummus can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated. Return to room temperature before serving.)
2. Sprinkle the hummus with the chopped parsley before serving.

I love hummus and this recipe looks amazing.  I will be trying it very soon!  I was wondering if you or anyone has added the non-flavored protein powder to hummus?  I am trying to get my game plan for surgery and was just thinking about hummus as a possible option?

I have not tried it....I think you might have to add a little more liquid if you use the dry protein powder.  I am so far out that I get my protein in my food.  That is a good idea for newbies....

If you are interested I have a blackbean hummus on my blog, that is really good too.

Have a great day!
