Red Pepper Hummus

Rinse the cooked chickpeas and set aside.

In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, tahini, cumin seeds, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt, then blend into a smooth paste.

Add the chickpeas to the bowl and blend again.

While blending, drizzle in olive oil and add water a little at a time until the desired creamy texture is reached.

Stir in the roasted red pepper and blend until fully incorporated and the color changes.

Adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed, then transfer to a serving dish.

Drizzle a little more olive oil on top and sprinkle with smoked paprika before serving.

Serve with raw vegetables or crusty bread for dipping.
