Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus

I am a hard-core Middle-Eastern food fan and at least 5-6 times a month I end up eating Lebanese Sandwich filled with Hummus at office. Hummus is a classical Arabic Chickpea dip and there are several variations available for Hummus. Hummus with Roasted Red Bell Pepper is of the commonest variable.…. I just love the aroma of Roasted Bell Pepper in Hummus….I can’t get bored while having Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus and the best part is, it is healthy and I don’t need to think about bad calories while having it as a dip to my sandwiches..

While preparing Hummus, Tahini plays a major role and I have already shared the recipe of homemade Tahini in my blog. Tahini is actually a paste prepared with Sesame Seed and you may click here for the recipe of Tahini.  I always prefer to use homemade Hummus though it is easily available in market.

I mostly prepare a bit extra Hummus and store it for 4-5 days since I love to replace it with butter or other spread while having my morning Bread or I mostly use it as part of my Office lunch as a spread to my Sandwiches filled with veggies or Chicken strips or sometimes with homemade Pita Bread. Even my little one loves Hummus with Pita Bread since it’s not that spicy…
